Plot

Leopoldo is a separate teacher and learns of his father's death. Once arrived at the morgue, however, the parent wakes up and says he just wants to pretend to be dead to escape from their creditors. The father escapes abroad and leaves to his son a videotape, from which emerges that Leopoldo has a secret brother who was born 35 years earlier by an extramarital affair with a janitor: Melchiorre called "Gimondi" who is serving several years in prison. The two brothers meet to sell his father's inheritance, and embark on a long car trip from Palermo to Saint Vincent.
