You and I need to talk: the plot of the film on Rai 1 and RaiPlay
Antonio and Pieraldo, played by Alessandro Siani and Leonardo Pieraccioni, are two policemen far from impeccable, more prone to mistakes than heroic deeds. Their work proceeds amidst messes, tensions and a friendship which continually oscillates between complicity and intolerance.
What makes everything even more complicated is their private life: Antonio is the ex-husband of Matilde (Brenda Lodigiani), who is now with Pieraldo, and together they raise Maria (Gea Dall’Orto), Antonio’s daughter. A delicate family plot, made up of fragile balances and inevitable embarrassments. Meanwhile, the presence of Sara (Francesca Chillemi), a charming colleague from the postal police, reopens old emotions in Antonio, suggesting that some feelings may never have truly vanished.
When Antonio and Pieraldo find themselves involved in a risky investigationtheir daily lives are turned upside down. Forced to leave their comfort zone, they will have to face a situation bigger than them, including unforeseen events, tensions and unexpected turns that will test not only their courage, but also their bond.
