Benvenuti al Sud

After faking a handicap to get a promotion, a businessman from Milan is transferred to Naples.

A family man who lives in a chic and prim Milan suburb works in management for the Italian postal service and fakes a physical handicap to get a promotion. Unmasked just when he thinks he's gotten away with it, his superiors punish him by transferring him to a village near Naples for 2 years. Terrified by the idea of having to live in chaos and violence in a place where he doesn't even understand the local dialect, the fussy businessman has no idea he's about to discover the many charms of the region: its joie de vivre, its hospitality, its cuisine...

Italian remake of the French hit Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis that pokes fun at the cultural and linguistic rivalries between Italy's north and south.
