Enea Tomei

In the aftermath of the 2001 political elections, Matteo quarrels violently with his wife Livia, a passionate left-wing militant, who accuses him of having voted for Berlusconi. Livia is unable to accept the situation but, just as she leaves the marital home, she is hit and injured by a fragment of a plane that crashed in their garden. Matteo, distraught over the loss of his wife, drives in the middle of a storm and hits a man.

L'un est mature et déterminé, l'autre refuse de grandir. Ces deux frères se voient contraints par un coup du sort d'échanger leurs rôles.

Don Matteo est un curé de campagne, à Gubbio, une petite ville en Italie. Son sacerdoce ne s'arrête pas à dire la messe ou confesser ses paroissiens, mais aussi à enquêter sur les différents crimes qui ont lieu dans sa paroisse.
