Plot

In 1975, the infants Tommaso and Daniele are born in a Sicilian clinic, and are placed in cots 7 and 8. But the nurse who places them, reverses the order, generating a great confusion! Tommaso and Daniele are now two young people doing different jobs: the first is a bumbling criminal, the other a young man who studies law, well integrated into civil society, and the two do not know at all. One day, when Tommaso must save himself from a fraud he just made, clashes with Daniele, and slowly the two discover the misunderstanding that has changed them since the day of his birth!

gollark: Wait, why did you read the potatOS... license terms, I think... now?

gollark: Those are purely hypothetical.

gollark: Well, yes, I suppose we do use advanced ideatic/memetic devices to sift hëavserveric discussion and emotion from the noösphere and expand heavserver.

gollark: "Rate at which they create heavserver"/"How often someone declares that they hate 'heavserver' and always avoid it"

gollark: > 'Heavserver' is just 'people being upset', when someone says they're always surrounded by heavserver and they just ignore it, it starts to make sense that their strategy might be backfiring.I feel like this is somewhat inaccurate.
