Fabiola e Lucia si odiano da quando si conoscono. Non potrebbero essere più diverse, ma le accomuna un uomo, Paolo, che è stato il marito di Lucia ed è l’attuale marito di Fabiola.

Quando Paolo scompare lasciando in eredità il piccolo Paolino, un bimbo per metà cinese del quale entrambe le donne ignoravano l’esistenza, Lucia e Fabiola, anche se ancora animate dall’antico astio, dovranno necessariamente tentare di mettere da parte le proprie divergenze personali, frequentarsi e trovare il modo di coesistere.

The two feel an immediate dislike for each other and, as an act of spite, Ruggero locks Gegè in the refrigerator.

Due to this occurrence, Gegè’s voice suddenly fades and he is diagnosed with a block of his vocal chords. Feeling responsible, Ruggero pretends to be the singer himself.

Gegè, cantante in crisi economica e di popolarità, riceve un invito per ritornare in Uruguay, dove trenta anni prima si era esibito con successo.

Non avendo denaro sufficiente per il volo aereo, si imbarca come passeggero su una nave, dove incontra Ruggero, cuoco solitario che non scende a terra da quattro anni.

Da subito scatta una istintiva antipatia: per dispetto Ruggero chiude Gegè nella cella frigorifera. Questo incidente causa a Gegè un improvviso abbassamento della voce.

A Montevideo, Gegè viene visitato e la prima diagnosi accerta un blocco delle corde vocali. Sentendosi responsabile, Ruggero finge con l’organizzazione di essere lui il cantante.

Da questo momento, i destini e le vite dei due uomini, accomunati dallo stesso desiderio di rinascita, si intrecceranno.

Once upon a time there were three neighboring kingdoms each with a magnificent castle, from which ruled kings and queens, princes and princesses.tale_of_tales

One king was a fornicating libertine, another captivated by a strange animal, while one of the queens was obsessed by her wish for a child.

Sorcerers and fairies, fearsome monsters, ogres and old washerwomen, acrobats and courtesans are the protagonists of this loose interpretation of the celebrated tales of Giambattista Basile.

C’era una volta un regno, anzi tre regni vicini e senza tempo, dove vivevano, nei loro castelli, re e regine, principi e principesse.

Un re libertino e dissoluto. Una principessa data in sposa ad un orribile orco. Una regina ossessionata dal desiderio di un figlio.

Accanto a loro maghi, streghe e terribili mostri, saltimbanchi, cortigiani e vecchie lavandaie sono gli eroi di questa libera interpretazione di tre delle celebri fiabe tratte da Il Racconto dei Racconti di Giambattista Basile.

Alex and Dino are two renowned plastic surgeons, at ease with changing their patients’ faces with few, precise touches. Leo and Cosimo are two clumsy cops on the trail of a powerful mob whose face is unknown.Natale-Col-Boss-greg-e-lillo

It is just by sheer luck that they will manage to take a photo of his real face, forcing him to call on the surgeons to make him look like Leonardo di Caprio.

Unfortunately for the boss, they will misunderstand his orders.

All characters will stumble into each other’s lives, each trying to ‘save face’, in a comedy full of surprises, plot twists and laughter.

Il film racconta la storia di Alex e Dino, due affermati chirurghi plastici abituati a cambiare i connotati dei loro pazienti con pochi e delicati colpi di bisturi.

Leo e Cosimo invece sono due maldestri poliziotti sulle tracce di un pericoloso e potente boss di cui nessuno conosce il volto.

È solo per caso che riescono a fotografare il criminale, che si rivolgerà ai due chirurghi per assumere le fattezze di Leonardo Di Caprio. Purtroppo per lui, Alex e Dino faranno confusione…

Tutti i personaggi inciamperanno l’uno nella vita dell’altro, in una commedia piena di equivoci, colpi di scena e grandi risate, in cui ognuno alla fine cercherà di… salvare la faccia.
