Varför hörs någon vråla SÅÅÅ HÄÄÄR HAAAR INTEEE MARIIIAAAANNE FREDRIKSSOOON DEEEEEET i det lilla vita huset i Bromma? Hur kommer det sig att Björn Skifs har blivit yngre än Martina Haag? Och varför ser hon ut som en smurf i pösbyxor? Och vad gör hon egentligen, instängd i en hiss med Viggo Mortensen på en lyxig björnfäll? Varför piper, mjauar och brölar det ur frysen i källaren? Och kommer verkligen Hans Blix att kunna reda ut bråken hemma hos familjen Haag?

Hemma hos Martina handlar om hur Martina försöker få livet att gå ihop med tre barn, en miljard katter och Sveriges stökigaste man som bara snor ens strumpor hela tiden och en skådespelarkarriär vars höjdpunkter mest verkar bestå av provfilmningar för finskt diskmedel. Den handlar också om hur man försöker överleva trots att man lider av en ofantlig brist på glamour när man är gravid i tionde månaden och ser ut som Lennart Swahn (fast med hårspännen).

Paolo Rossi si confessa. Ma rende la sua confessione a una divinità molto particolare: il dio dei ladri, il Bardo William Shakespeare. Tutti gli attori, i commedianti, i contastorie sono infatti ladri: di aneddoti e di idee, di verità e anche di menzogne. Per questo, la «versione di Paolo» è una storia rigorosamente apocrifa e anarchica, disseminata di occasioni e tentazioni, botte date e prese, donne amate e lasciate, poco venerati maestri e pessime compagnie di giro, ideologie e avventure di una sera o di una vita annaffiate da sobrie acque toniche corrette gin.
