Amelia, a former dancer called “Ginger”, arrives at Termini railways station; she is a widower and owns a small business. She has to dance on a television variety show with her old partner Pippo, called “Fred”. It’s Christmas time and the station is crowded. She catches a bus where she meets some odd characters. She arrives at a grand hotel, where all the staff are watching a football match on TV. Fred has not arrived yet and Gingers goes out of the hotel and is surrounded by a group of threatening bikers on the road. She goes back to her room, hears someone snoring, and finds out that Fred is there, and he has accepted to dance again only because he needs money. They would like to rehearse their old number, but they cannot, as there is a lot of confusion due to all the odd people who are, like them, guests of the TV programme Ed ecco a voi. At the end they perform but their performance is a disaster. Only after the TV channel President congratulates them do they accept to take part in the show, and they it is a success. At the railway station, when they’re leaving, they are recognized and sign autographs. Later, after Ginger lent Fred some money, they split. She catches a train. The platform lights are turned off and only the TV channel is on, with its noisy commercials.
