Synopsis
Antonio Buonocore, keeper of a stable Rome with a wife German, is to attend the event to Mr. Andrew, an elderly tenant who, before dying, tells him to be in possession of a suitcase inside with a few clichés of the original Bank of Italy, of which he had long been dependent, and the watermarked paper to print the notes 10,000 pounds. Mr. Andrea had stolen this material with the intention of "revenge" of his dismissal and make fake money, but never had the courage to succeed in its intention, therefore, Buonocore asked to throw the bag into the river so destroying the contents. Buonocore, however, is going through a bad time: basically honest person, has refused to become an accomplice of the accountant Casoria, the new administrator of the condominium, which had proposed to make a series of fraudulent transactions against the same building, and for this reason is under threat of dismissal. He thus decides not to destroy the bag, but ignoring the banknote printing techniques, to produce 10,000 pieces is forced to ask the cooperation of the typographer Joseph The Turkish and, later, the painter Cardone, both as variously indebted him. Building on the economic needs of his cronies, organizes meetings of stealth and hilarious night to give life to a gang of counterfeiters. The three manage to print banknotes and "split" in a bar one night, but things get complicated when Buonocore discovers that his eldest son Michael, a brilliant financier in his career recently moved to Rome, is following its own investigation of the delicate creation of a batch of counterfeit notes.Actors
