Fantozzi in Heaven

Fantozzi in Paradiso (Fantozzi in Heaven) is a 1993 Italian comedy film directed by Neri Parenti. It is the eighth chapter in the Fantozzi film series of the unlucky clerk Ugo Fantozzi, played by its creator, Paolo Villaggio. In this film, Fantozzi dies. It is followed by Fantozzi - Il ritorno (1996). Plot Ugo Fantozzi, Filini, Fonelli, Calboni and Miss Silvani are no longer the valiant and unfortunate accountants and clerks of their youth, keen on cheating their company by just pretending to work, or to extreme display of servility such as when performing the role of doormat for the boss. Fantozzi is involved in an accident at the cemetery and although feeling well and not suffering any serious consequences from the mishap, is told at a subsequent doctor's checkup that he only has a week left to live. His first reaction is to finally go for every risky activity, adventure and adrenaline rush, that he had refrained from during all his life. This however doesn't last long, and Fantozzi falls into deep depression, compounded by having been squatted away from his family house by the now adult daughter Mariangela and her husband, the gorilla Bongo. The protagonist's wife Pina takes pity of him, and makes arrangements behind his back to grant him a last love episode with his ex-colleague Miss Silvani. The woman accepts to simulate final capitulation to his courtship, after refusing it with disgust for years, in return for money to pay off her debts. Pina stages a fake quarrel with Fantozzi, to kick him out of their makeshift home within a garage, and the paid-for love escape to Cortina d'Ampezzo can start. Initially Fantozzi is so overwhelmed that he cannot perform in bed. The hotel barman however offers him a strange concoction of powerful aphrodisiacs and spices, leading to a night of over-the-top, mountain-shaking sex that surprises and overcomes all reticence in Miss Silvani, finally in love. Having at last regained self-confidence, Fantozzi is about to send his wife Pina an insulting divorce letter, when he finds out by chance that it was only thanks to her care and sacrifice that Miss Silvani had finally capitulated. Returning home to her in Rome, Fantozzi gets busy in devoting his last hours to exaggerated acts of penitence and contrition.
