About This Movie

Twelve Plus One is one of those quirky comedies from the late '60s that blends charm with a bit of whimsy. Directed by Nicolas Gessner, it follows Mario, a young man who's got a knack for romantic entanglements and unwittingly inherits a set of dilapidated antique chairs. The concept of these chairs leading to a treasure hunt is quite amusing. The pacing feels like a leisurely stroll with Mario as he navigates a world of eccentric characters. There's this lighthearted tension as he tries to reclaim a chair that holds a fortune in documents. The performances are lively, with a certain charm unique to that era, showcasing a nostalgic take on adventure and mishap. It's certainly distinctive for its comedic approach to inheritance and value.
