This DVD (and any other DVD released anywhere in the world) will play just fine on any multi-region DVD player, bought in USA or elsewhere. It will also play on most computers' DVD drives. Some consumers actually own a multi-region DVD player, without knowing it. All you need to do if you own such Philips, Akai, CyberHome or other DVD player is to use your remote control to switch it to multi-region mode. As such features are almost always not documented by the DVD player's manufacturer, we'd recommend you check your DVD player's capabilities by searching the web for the words 'videohelp DVD Player and Blu-ray Player region codes' and choosing the very first link found.
For our USA customers, if you need an advise for a inexpensive ($30-$40) US DVD player, please feel free to contact us or to read our recommenations here: Our DVD player recommendations. Please keep in mind that we do not sell DVD players.

This DVD does not contain pornographic material and may be lawfully sold to and viewed by minors.

o Most of the DVD manufacturers don't state whether subtitles are optional or not. Unfortunately, we don't have the capacity to inspect every DVD title to determine whether subtitles can be removed or not. Therefore, when purchasing the DVD, which contains subtitles, the assumption should be that subtitles are not removable. However, you can try DVD's menu to turn off subtitles or try 'Subtitles' button on your DVD player's remote control to turn off the subtitles track. If these steps don't work, then unfortunately subtitles are not optional.

Synopsis:
Growing up in the rough suburbs, Ernesto Marchetti is brought up short when his father declares in front of everybody: 'You are nothing but the fifth wheel.' This proverb becomes the simple and bitter concept for his life. He is a person who does not count, a common man, taking whatever job comes his way to make ends meet - upholsterer, kindergarten cook, mover, truck driver, movie extra. Inseparable from his truck, Ernesto roams through all of Italy, upstairs and downstairs and becomes an unwitting participant in the scandals and dishonesty, hopes and delusions of Italian society from the 60s to the beginnings of the Berlusconi reign in the 90s. An innocent of sorts, he is one of history's extras who goes along with whoever is in power, focusing on family and friends and never quite noticing how he is being used.

Ernesto is a simple man who tries to pursue his own ambitions without losing sight of the real values in life. Upholsterer, nursery-school cook, mover, driver, film extra. With him and his best friend Giacinto, we relive the crucial phases in the history of the country from the 1970s to the present.

A none-too-bright working-class Joe lightly experiences Italy's ups and downs over nearly half a century in this pallid family dramedy.
