Yuppies(1986)

Yuppies is an Italian comedy following four ambitious young men navigating Milan's glittering 1980s scene. Willy, Giacomo, Lorenzo, and Sandro are obsessed with status and appearance, idolizing figures like Lawyer Gianni Agnelli and Silvio Berlusconi. Each pursues a prestigious career—Giacomo in advertising, Lorenzo as a notary, Sandro as a dentist, and Willy selling cars—but their real ambition is simply to look successful. The film captures the excess and superficiality of "Milano da bere," the era when Milan became synonymous with wealth, ambition, and style over substance. As these four navigate their professional lives and social circles, their relentless pursuit of image over authenticity drives the film's satirical humor, offering a sharp portrait of 1980s Italian yuppie culture at its most absurd.
