In 1968, engineer and crackpot inventor Giorgio Rosa decides he's had enough of living under Italian laws and constructs a platform outside the country's territorial waters. This then becomes an offshore club for allcomers and he declares the makesehift island an independent state. The authorities, naturally, take a dim view of this and set about shutting him down.
It would be hard to believe that Rose Island is a true story if you didn't know about how the machinations of the system in Italy, but knowing that it is a pretty unembellished version of the real events lends a pretty slender plot some added interest, and that's bolstered by its breezy comic air.
