It doesn’t happen every day to be walking on a beach at dawn and ending up standing before a magic cabin from which the same girl mysteriously keeps on coming out again and again. Yet, at least once in life we all have dealt with a woman showing total indifference. And that’s why some of us have often felt subconsciously forever locked inside a cabin without any way out. “The cabin” is a comedy that entertains us by talking of a man who, in a surrealistic way, does his best to fall into a fatal trap.

Director Maurizio Nichetti is invited on TV to introduce a screening of his neo-realist classic 'The Icicle Thief'. He is horrified to discover that his black-and-white tale of life in poverty is constantly interrupted by garish color commercials, and even more horrified when a power cut in the studio causes film and commercials to mix up – a glamorous model finds herself in the arms of an unemployed pauper, while his wife finds herself in consumers' heaven. Nichetti has to break into the film to try to sort everything out.
