PLOT : Lorenzo (Alessandro Siani) is the owner of a company, “Tramite amicizia” (literally, “By Friendship”), which rents out friends. If you need comfort, company or just a shopping tip, Lorenzo is the fake friend ready for you! He’s kind, caring, and gentle. In other words, he’s the perfect friend. Unfortunately, this time it is not strangers who contact the agency, but Lorenzo's family members. They are employees of a confectionery factory that the owner, Alberto Dessè (Max Tortora), wants to sell because of a deep discouragement, and because he feels extremely lonely. This puts hundreds of workers in danger. No doubt about it, the king of confectionery needs a friend and Lorenzo is the right man for him! In a series of gags and twists, the complicity of his cousin Filomena (Maria Di Biase) and a very special friend Maya (Matilde Gioli), will Lorenzo manage to convince Alberto to save the company and its employees?
