This proverb becomes the simple and bitter concept for his life. He is a person who does not count, a common man, taking whatever job comes his way to make ends meet - upholsterer, kindergarten cook, mover, truck driver, movie extra. Inseparable from his truck, Ernesto roams through all of Italy, upstairs and downstairs and becomes an unwitting participant in the scandals and dishonesty, hopes and delusions of Italian society from the 60s to the beginnings of the Berlusconi reign in the 90s. An innocent of sorts, he is one of history's extras who goes along with whoever is in power, focusing on family and friends and never quite noticing how he is being used. ...The Fifth Wheel ( L'ultima ruota del carro ) ( 5th Wheel )
