Miris (Italian pop-star Donatella Rettore) is a cheery yet chubby girl from a small Italian village. Though she never paid much attention to her weight problem, Miris is devastated when she falls victim to a mean-spirited prank played by Mirko, the most popular boy in town. Miris' sister is deeply in love with Mirko, and when the embarrassment becomes too much to take the target of the prank decides to commit suicide. Just as the gas begins to work its magic on Miris, however, she discovers that she's just won a trip to New York City. There, Miris meets up with Baroness Judith cam Kemp (Anita Ekberg), he inventor of a miracle weight-loss drug. Upon slimming down, a newly empowered Miris plans a trip back to Italy, where she will put Mirko in his place once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
