Eugenio Cappuccio, a young director familiar to Nice audiences, returns to cast another ironic look at contemporary Italian society and the difficult possibility of relating to others in the comedy One Out of Two. Lorenzo (Fabio Volo) is an ambitious lawyer with a girlfriend (Anita Caprioli) he’s not sure he loves, an apartment downtown, a career under construction and a big business opportunity that is supposed to let him and his friend Paolo (Giuseppe Battiston) hit pay dirt in their profession. Everything seems to be on track, when suddenly something snaps. Lorenzo collapses on the street and wakes up in a hospital room beside another patient, Giovanni (Ninetto Davoli), a good-natured Roman truck driver who will lead him to a personal rebirth. Discharged from the hospital, he doesn’t identify with his old life anymore. Everything around him seems fake and only Giovanni can help him. In turn, Lorenzo will help him reconstruct a relationship with his daughter Tresy.
