In FOUR SEASONS, such a guy is Mario, a film geek, love addict and college drop-out with a less-than-impressive resume, who's facing an identity crisis at the end of his twenties while living with his grandpa. Mario delivers pizzas.

Each wish will be the starting point of an intense weekend in which they will live fun, unexpected and, sometimes, extreme situations.
