Cosmo is a sophisticated art expert who lives in a wonderful loft overlooking the Circus Maximus. Sartorial clothes, many friends of one night and no cell phone, because for him it is a vulgar object. He has the gift of an “absolute eye”: in front of his gaze the works come to life, revealing every detail of composition and every secretary secret. He is lonely and irregular: he has no academic titles and is out of the system. But the system fears it, because its experiences are infallible in determining whether a work is authentic or false. At his side, his friend Mia (Aurora Giovinazzo).
Angelo Tiberi is a good policeman raised in a large family, in a popular neighborhood in Rome. Simple, direct, authentic. Many friends, a great love for Roma, and the cell phone that always rings because parents, sisters and sisters ask him a thousand favors, knowing that he is too generous to say no. Methodic and diligent, he is secretly in love with the friend of a lifetime, Eleonora (Roman Maggiora Vergano), medical examiner.
