Set in Palermo, Italy, this comedy begins in 1975 when a hospital worker mistakenly swaps the labels of two newborn babies. The story follows the two children, Tommaso and Daniele, as they grow into adulthood in very different circumstances. One becomes a small-time criminal, while the other pursues a degree in law. After thirty-one years, the two men meet by chance and discover the truth about their origins, an encounter that alters their lives.

The film was co-directed by Salvatore Ficarra, Valentino Picone, and Giambattista Avellino. It represents the first directed effort for all three, with Ficarra and Picone later collaborating on five more films through 2019, while Avellino directed another project in 2026. The screenplay was written by Francesco Bruni, Ficarra, and Picone. The main cast features Salvatore Ficarra as Tommaso Scavuzzo and Valentino Picone as Daniele La Blasca, supported by Eleonora Abbagnato, Barbara Tabita, Arnoldo Foà, and Andrea Tidona.
