[1] For their performances, Carlo Buccirosso and Claudio Amendola respectively won the David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actor and the Nastro d'Argento in the same category.

[3] Diego, Fausto and Claudio are three men dissatisfied with their activities : the first is a car salesman from Turin who, also drined by his father's death, decided to change his life; the second is a Roman right-wing TV dealer who is full of debts; the third, also from Rome, has just brought down the centuries-old family grocery store and is now close to divorce.

Later we will add Elisa, a young pregnant woman called by Claudio to have a hand with cleaning and cooking, and Abu, a Ghanaian laborer.

Diego, Fausto, Claudio and Sergio are completing the renovation of the farmhouse when they receive a visit from Vito, a Camorrista who came to ask for the lace driving an Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300; Sergio does not hesitate to spread it with a punch and the four, finding no other solution, decide to seize it and enclose it in the basement of the farmhouse, while the car is made to disappear, buried.

The situation precipitates when the superior of Vito comes to ask for the lace escorted by a stooge, who a few days later returns to collect: he too is seized.
