I Vitelloni is a 1953 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Federico Fellini. The film follows the lives of five young men in a small seaside town in Italy who are struggling to find their place in the world. The title "I Vitelloni" refers to the Italian term for "big calves" and is used to describe young men who are seen as aimless and lazy.

The five main characters are all in their twenties and are dealing with various personal and societal pressures to grow up and take responsibility for their lives. The film is also a commentary on Italian society at the time, which was experiencing a post-war economic boom but was still struggling with traditional values and gender roles.

The film's themes of maturation and societal pressures are still relevant today, making it a timeless classic of Italian cinema. Fellini's masterful direction and the outstanding performances by the cast make I Vitelloni a must-see for fans of classic cinema.
