Synopsis:

In Lucio Pellegrini's screwball caper, a group of disillusioned citizens take their outrage to another level by attempting to kidnap a corrupt official. The unlikely band of accomplices include a pizza boy (played by Pierfrancesco Favino), an ardent Marxist, an excon, and a fetching TV journalist (Claudia Pandolfi). Pellegrini's comedy of errors whizzes along with sharply written dialogue and absurd predicaments, humorously illustrating how the contemporary political scene in Italy could drive anyone to distraction.

Starring the ever-hilarious Pierfrancesco Favino, this film begins with a ridiculous bang and continues to up the outrageous ante as the viewer watches in delight and disbelief. A gaggle of angry, radical Italians decide to kidnap a crooked minister and ask for a ransom that would go directly to the family of a worker that was killed because of the minister's corrupt behavior; problem is that they abduct the wrong politico. Total nuttiness ensues.
