Plot

Cetto La Qualunque (Antonio Albanese) has just become mayor of Marina di Sopra (a small village in Calabria): now the corrupt and ignorant fugitive entrepreneur wants to lead the entire town by doing nothing and instead relying on the support of his friends. But soon Lt. Cavallaro tricks him and sends him to prison along with his entire gang, including the funny Pino "The Stranger" (as for the inhabitants of Calabria citizens of Apulia appear as non-EU citizens). In Veneto in Northern Italy, the manufacturer Rodolfo "Olfo" Favaretto (Albanese) dreams for years to unify the Italian regions of Piedmont, Lombardia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto with a long highway to Austria. In fact, as the great secessionist that he is, Olfo wants to bring Italy in the time of eighteenth century when Austro-Hungarian Empire dominated by the entire North. One day he escort a group of criminals who deal in the most inhuman affair from his bunker in Venice to a speedboat guide for channels of the city, making them look like tourists in order to not to be stopped by the police. When Olfo arrives at his shipyard orders to illegal immigrants to get to work to build his "strap" (highway), but a black man falls from the roof of the yard and does not give any sign of life. Rodolfo, in order to have no trouble, tries to put the body in a plastic bag and throw it in the channel, but the man is not dead and reports it to the police. Frengo Stoppato (still Albanese) is a drug addict who lives happily in Brazil until a call from his mother brings him back in Italy. It is a trick because the woman, telling the son to convert to Catholicism before she dies, manages to make him arrested for drug possession.

Meanwhile, in Rome at Montecitorio some corrupted and petty politicians, decide with the consent of the Secretary of the Prime Minister (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) to replace three MPs that have been recently killed with Cetto, Olfo and Frengo. Among them is also the Prime Minister himself (Paolo Villaggio). Cetto, Rodolfo and Frengo that are treated like royalty, with mansions and luxury apartments, and start having fun and doing nothing all day. Only one thing the Secretary recommended to the three; swear allegiance and never betray him. Their ineptitude, their meanness of character and habits, and particularly their ideals will only create trouble for the government buildings. In fact, the Secretary has made a mistake because he chose not professional "Art of Swindle" and fend for themselves, but of the provincial administrators who think only to their directives. Cetto La Qualunque does not appear even once to the House to vote in Parliament and has not abandoned the sake of having sex with beautiful girls, but a haunting happens to him when he has a brief affair with a transsexual. This is to Cetto is like a sober, it is as if he had been deprived of his dignity because he believes homosexuals of being ugly and unclean and become one of them would be the end. Frengo continues its path to beatification asking for an audience even to the pope Benedict XVI after he caught his attention with a change in the fee for the poor, where most of the gains ended the Cardinals of St. Peter. As if that were not enough, he believes that the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph is not that perfect precisely because God has fertilized the Madonna and then the carpenter has recognized Christ as his son. Finally Rodolfo begins to hate people of color in a frightening way, not trusting even the gentle and cultured goalkeeper, as he comes from Africa. He plans to destroy only a few natural reserve, shack where the immigrants live and finally dry up the rivers, but in fact the disaster that is going to cause is huge and will be booed by everyone.

When Rodolfo is sent to prison thanks to the testimony of the young workers of color, died for nothing, he begins to fixate on one thing: "Why do blacks now float? Who knew that a black floated? And the only black floating here in Italy I had to find him! "One day the black visits him in prison with all the family and the wife of Rodolfo glad tells him that the worker has decided to forgive him, though he tried to drown him. Faced with this gesture of love Rodolfo shows all ls au cruelty, saying, "You have forgiven me? I do not forgive you for anything! So you learn to float to treason! Please get he off out of my sight!" In other scenes in the movie Rodolfo will start to go crazy more and more with his prejudices against people of color and the Chinese. These trains them as marines to start the secession Italic with Austria, and when he is transferred to a prestigious hotel in Rome because it was just elected honorable, moves back scared in front of the black goalkeeper. he man quietly handed him the key of the apartment, but lalla Rodolfo asks his assistant to take his place, because you do not trust the secret skills of blacks. His assistant offends him, telling him that he is a racist and Rodolfo responds with extreme ignorance by saying that in Italy and in the world you can not integrate the colors black and white. He says: "It would be a great mix! She would like the gray children? not me!".

Count Giacomo Taldegardo Francesco di Sales Saverio Pietro Leopardi was an Italian philosopher, poet, essayist, and philologist. He is considered the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and one of the most important figures in world literature, as well as one of the principals of literary romanticism; his constant reflection on existence and on the human condition—of sensuous and materialist inspiration—has also earned him a reputation as a deep philosopher. He is widely seen as one of the most radical and challenging thinkers of the 19th century but routinely compared by Italian critics to his older contemporary Alessandro Manzoni despite expressing "diametrically opposite positions." Although he lived in a secluded town in the conservative Papal States, he came into contact with the main ideas of the Enlightenment, and, through his own literary evolution, created a remarkable and renowned poetic work, related to the Romantic era. The strongly lyrical quality of his poetry made him a central figure on the European and international literary and cultural landscape.
