This is how Lucio and Osvaldo end up, our friendly enemies, are forced by circumstances to follow a case together. The case looks initially quick and easy to solve but then develops into something more complicated, and increasingly like international intrigue involving secret services and the Ustica shot-down plane 1980s mystery. This is obviously all a set-up.

However this set-up is unravelled. Lucio discovers that Osvaldo had played him, resulting in him losing his first, in fact one and only client, with whom meanwhile… he had fallen in love. However, just as all seems lost, both of them discover that the woman was in fact in real danger! A different intrigue, however small, was truly in the air… Our two heroes will eventually manage to avoid disaster – with Osvaldo’s imagination and Lucio’s determination they might just pull off a counter-sting in the finale.
