Jeromaia Detto: Giuseppe's Love Quest

What is love? How does it feel? When does it happen? 

From the loins of multi-award winning comedian, Jeromaia Detto, the disarmingly charming Giuseppe Alfresco is desperate to understand: "What is love?"

He is but a humble Italian beach boy, who has never been in love or loved another. He has never felt it, seen it, or known what it is, but, maybe he will fall in love for the first time.
