Synopsis by Nathan Southern
This crime comedy from the nutty Italian duo Valentino Picone and Salvatore Ficarra features the two writer-director-stars, respectively, as Paolo and Gaetano, cousins estranged from one another. The boys haven't spoken for almost twenty years, thanks to the enmity that their fathers feel toward one another. But an accident suddenly brings the cousins back together and thrusts them deep into the heart of the mafia. Godfather Don Gino (Pino Caruso witnesses the extent to which Gaetano and Paolo need to stay close, and aggressively intervenes to try to reconcile them with one another. Anna Safroncik and Mary Cipolla lend supporting roles.
