Description

Diego is a forty-something car salesman with a talent for telling half-truths.

Fausto sells watches over the phone. Claudio manages (barely) his family-owned neighborhood supermarket.

The characteristic common to each of these three men is their abject mediocrity.

Yet, mediocrity being the mother of outrageous invention, they embark on a project that would be too ambitious in scope for any single one of them, let alone all three together.

They decide to flee the city and to open a rustic holiday farmhouse in the Italian countryside outside Naples.

Things would have been challenging enough for these three unlikely entrepreneurs, but when a local mobster arrives and demands they pay him protection money things go from bad to worse.

Now their ordinary (if wrongheaded) attempt to run a small business in an area that organized crime syndicates consider their own becomes a quixotic act of defiance.
