New Showbiz Analysis

The film functions as a traditional social comedy that prioritizes class-based issues over diverse identities. While it offers a critique of political corruption, it does so through established archetypes rather than diverse representation. The narrative focuses on the conflict between defrauded citizens and corrupt elites. This thematic focus on systemic failure provides social commentary but lacks intentionality regarding gender, race, or sexual orientation. Ultimately, the film adheres to conventional social structures, making it a narrow study of institutional distrust rather than a diverse exploration of identity.

Official Synopsis

Antonio, an honest citizen, seeks his revenge against Simone, a dishonest politician. Antonio initially wanted to report him but then, knowing Italy, a country in which the justice process is very long and uncertain, he decides to take revenge in another way: he discovers that his enemy has hidden the proceeds of his misdeeds in a Swiss bank and decides to organize a hit to get back what was stolen from him. To accomplish the feat, Antonio sets up a small gang, made up of non-professionals who have only one thing in common: they too have been defrauded by corrupt politics. The heist takes place in Zurich where the bank in which Simone hid the money is based. With a series of unpredictable consequences, and with a funny substitution of people (Antonio and his wife pretend to be Simone and his partner), a comic clockwork mechanism starts. And the heist begins.
