In the film, the disabled children, empathizing with their director, will try to solve the anxieties and fears of well-known characters who turn to them, looking for them in the most diverse places in the city. Professional actors will confess with irony and sincerity their tics and their manias hoping that these "psychiatric tutors" will be able to solve them thus facing problems and disorders that affect the daily life of each of us. The film wants to reveal with lightness, originality and with a surreal and tragicomic irony high psychological and social contents with the aim of staging a different way of seeing and facing the problems and difficulties, physical and mental, that we all try to overcome and improve in different ways.

Antonio initially wanted to report him but then, knowing Italy, a country in which the justice process is very long and uncertain, he decides to take revenge in another way: he discovers that his enemy has hidden the proceeds of his misdeeds in a Swiss bank and decides to organize a hit to get back what was stolen from him. To accomplish the feat, Antonio sets up a small gang, made up of non-professionals who have only one thing in common: they too have been defrauded by corrupt politics. The heist takes place in Zurich where the bank in which Simone hid the money is based. With a series of unpredictable consequences, and with a funny substitution of people (Antonio and his wife pretend to be Simone and his partner), a comic clockwork mechanism starts.
