In 1980, after his international success, Capucci announced that he wanted to get out of the classic fashion system based on défilés and would only present his creations in Artistic Exhibitions. Since then his works appeared in the Museums of Munich, Wien, Berlin, Paris, New York, Washington, Luxembourg, Stockholm, Madrid, Strasbourg, Moscow, London, Lisbon, Firenze, Saint Petersburg and other cities.

The documentary includes the true story of an Italian girl who entered a museum and spent the night sleeping inside the wedding dress "Sposa Rossa" she wanted to wear for her wedding. A fiction reconstructs the dream where the girl becomes a boy who crosses the Naples subway filled with Capucci's creations.
