A drama produced by RAI Cinema and Wildside follows the story of Giacomo, played by Fabio de Luigi, who searches for his dead father. He hopes to find his reincarnated father among the 800 million people born on earth since his father's passing.

Giacomo knows he should make peace with the fact that his father is gone, but he is troubled. He reads a book that motivates him to go and find the author — not an easy task.

Giacomo manages to speak with the scholar. When he gets back home, his family is waiting for him with a proposal.

Mario has all kinds of financial problems, and when Giacomo comes after him, Mario thinks that he's been sent by one of his many creditors.

Giacomo and Mario become acquainted in the back of Giacomo's chauffeur-driven car, but Mario is puzzled, and worried, about the talk of reincarnation. His other worries involve creditors.

Mario goes to visit Giacomo at home and his eyes light up. Giacomo is very happy about the visit, but his mother, a bit less.

Mario can hardly believe his eyes. He has ended up in the home of a naive millionaire who's a perfect subject for being conned.

Giacomo reveals his "discovery" to his family. He tells Mario about the girl he likes. Mario manages to leave with a nice check, signed by Giacomo.

Mario is repaying some debts and buying presents for his family, but his efforts go unappreciated. Giacomo's family is becoming alarmed at how much money he is spending, and decides to do something about it.

Mario manages to put certain ideas in Giacomo's head so that when he gets to the meeting with the notary, he is not the complacent brother everyone is expecting.
