What Where Am I Going? Is About

Checco has one goal: never to give up his permanent civil service post in Apulia, the posto fisso. When a reformist government offers voluntary buyouts he refuses, so the state starts posting him to steadily more unbearable jobs. Eventually he ends up at a research station in the Arctic. Gennaro Nunziante directed and Checco Zalone starred, and the film rewrote Italian box office history. It grossed 65.3 million euros, roughly 75.8 million dollars, and became the highest-grossing Italian film in Italy, taking the record from the same pair's Sole a catinelle in 2013. Its effect went beyond cinemas. Bergen in Norway saw a 23 percent rise in Italian visitors during 2016. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi went to see it with his family, and Culture Minister Dario Franceschini said it was good for all of Italian cinema. Who it is for: anyone curious about comedy that grows out of Italian daily life and the argument over public sector employment. Who it is not for: viewers with no local context. Most of the jokes are specific to Italy and lose a great deal in translation.
