“There's method in his madness”

Enrico Oliveri (Toni Servillo) leads Italy's opposition party, and with elections coming and the polls looking bad, he vanishes under the pressure. His aide Andrea Bottini (Valerio Mastandrea) and the party's upper ranks decide to avoid a scandal by putting Enrico's identical twin, a philosopher named Giovanni Ernani, in his place. Roberto Andò sets this up as a quiet gamble, because if the substitute is found out, the party's chances go down with him.
