After their small jewel of a first film, Incantesimo napoletano, the young directing team of Paolo Genovese and Luca Miniero expand their comic gifts in a joyous, fast-moving story about the retired Walter (Carlo Delle Piane), who realizes his pension is being earned by somebody working right now. With the help of his 10-year-old neighbor Sara, he embarks on a search to find the person “working” for him. His choice falls on Piero (Pier Francesco Favino), an industrious employee so shy he wants to commit suicide. Walter and Sara decide to help him find love. Gifted actors Delle Piane and Favino keep the action leaping and the irony high.
