Walter and the other elderly guests of the small rest home, find themselves in great trouble from one day to the other – the owner of the property, a deceitful and unscrupulous Countess, has suddenly decided to sell it via a rigged auction.
Walter decides to take matters into his own hands and asks for help from Renny, the son he has not seen for over twenty years because he’s been on the run from the police from around the world for fraud, robbery…and the likes.
Renny comes out with a “brilliant” plan: he will organize a clandestine art auction at the Villa with the involvement of an international criminal organization. With the proceeds of the auction the old friends will be able to buy out Villa Matura and solve all their problems.
The plan gives life to a fast-paced comedy of misunderstandings, with our lively protagonists facing dangerous situations that will require all their courage and friendship, against all odds, they will help each other and prove to be more vital than ever!
