The Wizard of U.S. is a social satire - an animated documentary about emotions, based on themes from the popular American novel "The Wizard of OZ", in order to illustrate how Los Angeles makes the American Dream come true. The film describes the observations, dilemmas and adventures shared by all of those, who just like Dorothy - the main character-want to be "the voice of their generation" and try their luck in Hollywood. This is the hyper-realistic America, with all its attractions, such as living "at full capacity", the enthusiasm and embarrassingly white smiles of "the local people" seen through the eyes of a "stranger" from Europe. Using the factual interviews with the inhabitants of Los Angeles, observing their everyday life, habits and behavior, after three years of having survived in L.A. the director reveals the thrills and absurdities that govern the world of the big stakes and unleashed dreams the way it is all perceived by an immigrant from Europe.

L'attesa è finita, torna finalmente in TV Corrado Guzzanti con un nuovo evento televisivo: lo speciale dal titolo "Aniene 2 - Molto rigore per nulla". Cosa avrà ispirato questa volta il creatore di formidabili personaggi come Lorenzo, Don Pizzarro, Quelo, il Massone? Chi sarà la nuova vittima di memorabili reinterpretazioni come quelle già celebri di Tremonti, Venditti e Rutelli? "Aniene 2", in perfetto stile Guzzanti, unirà satira corrosiva e raffinata comicità, mixando vecchie e nuove "creature" e sketch fulminanti. Sarà uno specchio del Paese immerso nella crisi, della sua classe dirigente e dei "mostri" che popolano un'apparente normalità. Oltre, ovviamente, ad Aniene, improbabile supereroe "sceso sulla Terra in mezzo ai mortali per riparare i torti e trionfare sulla giustizia" conosceremo nuovi personaggi che, ancora una volta, ci faranno riflettere su vizi e difetti che segnano il nostro imminente futuro.
