The story of Giancarlo Siani, a journalist killed by the Neapolitan Mafia in 1985.

The narrative follows a former gangster who, in an attempt to escape his tumultuous past, seeks refuge in a new village. Upon his arrival, he adopts the guise of a priest. In this newfound role, he becomes a central figure within the community, significantly influencing the lives of its inhabitants.

Enzo and Monica, two engaged thirty-year-olds from the outskirts of Naples, lead a life of routine until Enzo makes a sharp bet at the illegal lottery, thanks to which he wins a trip offered up for grabs by the criminal who runs the game. The journey turns out to be an experience somewhere between comical and traumatic, because Enzo and Monica are like two fish out of water in all the contexts in which they find themselves. Even more traumatic, however, is their return to Naples: their trip was wanted by an American laboratory for an anthropological study, which will transform them, despite themselves, into stars.

Domenico Greco is an unlucky stage actor drowning in debt, living as a freeloader in the home of his sister-in-law, Rosetta—the widow of his late brother—who has a nine-year-old son suffering from a heart condition. The only way to save the boy is through surgery in America, but the procedure costs 160,000 euros. In their desperation, they turn to Saint Januarius in prayer, begging for a miracle. The saint seemingly "responds," giving them the green light to "take" one of the jewels from his miter—kept alongside his famous treasure in the church crypt. In reality, it is merely the voice of a parking attendant echoing through the nave—a sound that Domenico and Rosetta mistake for a message from Saint Januarius. Joined by Ferdinando, Cesare, and Claudia, they embark on a "treasure hunt" that takes them from Naples to Turin, and eventually to Cannes, on the French Riviera.
