Enrico Oliveri is a shrewd, experienced politician, a senator and party leader  whose career is in decline. Suffering depression and exhaustion, he decides to disappear for a while, hiding incognito in Paris, France at the home of a former lover, Danielle, who is now married to a famous film director by whom she has a school-age daughter.    Panic ensues among Oliveri's political intimates when they discover his disappearance. His right-hand man, Andrea Bottini, does not lose faith, but instead gets the idea of secretly substituting Oliveri's twin brother, Giovanni Ernani, an over-the-top writer and philosopher who has previously spent time in mental health care and is still medicated. Complications ensue, but the substitute proves more outgoing, more visionary, and much more popular with the press, the public and even with his competitors than his more serious brother, and he leads the party towards victory. The real senator rediscovers himself while watching his brother's success from afar. Enrico Oliveri eventually returns to Rome. But does he resume his life, or is his mad brother left in charge?

With the "Cinema Italiano" ISNJ will hope to bring all "Italian enthusiastic" people together to promote practical use of the language and discover modern Italian culture.
