Ficarra e Picone have fun with the Italian system...
The Italian comic duo of, Ficarra e Picone, take on the Mafia and everything that is so wrong with the Italian system, by poking fun at it and entertaining us along the way. They play bumbling Electronic Technicians who stumble upon a corpse, and from there their whole world falls apart, but in a comical way.
What Ficarra and Picone manage to do is reveal how insane and corrupt their country is. From the new-look Mafia who have to make ends meet by doing legit jobs, to the Church and their financial dealings (the monastery who don't hand out receipts for their purchased cookies), to lame news stories from the desperate media, and even throwing in cheesy TV Police thrillers that have burnt away our brain cells. The duo have fun and go to town on it, including the gender difference when committing infidelity!
It's a Sicilian farce, that only Sicilians will understand. But if you go in with the knowledge that all is not right in the sun burnt island, then you will enjoy the silly ride Ficarra and Picone have in store for you.
