I see you're shooting
a documentary in the office.

Original, eh?

What's the difference
between being inspired and stealing?

Being inspired
is when you see something beautiful.

For example,
I go to a friend's house, Mario...

I say, "What a lovely sofa,
I'd like one for my house."

And I buy one for my house as well.

Stealing instead... is when
I actually take Mario's couch.

And Mario doesn't know.

Stealing's a serious word.

And then work's already
really complicated, you know?

- They can't find me.
- We have Alfredo/salary here.

- Stop. What do you want from me?
- What is it, Fru?

A moron who's asked eight times

- when the fried night is.
- So answer them.

But the post's a giant message
with four words,

"fried night every Thursday".

I can't take it anymore...

It's not that every single thing
has to...

But Aurora gets fixated on things...

- It's the same. Woman, chainsaw.
- There's a polar bear as well.

It's not exactly the same,
we used a brown bear.

Come on, Fabio.
Apart from the fact it's a grizzly.

Well, it's still not a polar bear.

The concept, though,
works much better with our grizzly.

It's obviously plagiarism,

they copied a video I'd made
for a kitchens client last year

and remade it
virtually identical.

All I did was say this
on my social networks, openly.

One hundred Retweets in two days.

"The advertising sector and beyond
in uproar...

'Champion of creativity'."

The champion of creativity!

They've never written about anyone
from this agency before.

What does it matter to you, I mean?

Think about things...

I mean, life's already...

And you go on and insist, God!

But it's also because she's young.

You can't steal an idea
and pass it off as your own.

I hate people who copy
and say it's referencing.

But in the end...

what do we care?

SMALL FISH

Of course, I'm available, but for
internal matters I'm relying on you.

Be good.

Don't die in the workplace
in my absence,

also because I'd have a lot
of problems with HR.

And I'd be sorry, obviously.

Of course, I'd be very sorry
if one of you were to die

without me being here to witness it.

Without me, let's say, being present.

Don't worry, Roberta,

And then the team is highly qualified
and professional.

I hope so for you.

Goodbye.

Very professional.

Alfredo, you really are an idiot.

Yellow card. Dangerous
as well as ridiculous prank.

Let me remind you,
firecrackers are banned.

- Well done, Alfre'.
- And it's not funny.

It made me laugh.

It makes you laugh
if I say 'flatulist'.

Flatulist...

Ciro fixates
on the musicality of words...

But not their meaning...

the sound of the word 'flatulist'.

For a time
the word 'Lucrezio' made him laugh.

Which is a name.

Shitty, but still a name.

You don't love your son
if you call him Lucrezio.

Gianlu', why have you got a whistle?

Because I'm the judge.

And? Referees have whistles.

- Judges have gavels.
- He's right.

He is right.

- Yellow card.
- Why?

- Protesting.
- So what? Can I not say...

- You can't protest.
- I didn't say a thing about the...

Pranks on April 1st
had become too obvious,

and then there's a media overkill
of pranks everywhere.

Which is why
I introduced March Fools' Day.

It's like the April one,
but it's in March.

Here it is.

The golden fish. Zoom in.

The award
for the most original prank.

I asked for an explanation.

I'm not participating as a contestant
but as the supreme judge.

Fabio, sit down.

And referee.

Supreme referee.

So there'll be all this chaos
in the office for 48 hours?

I try to maintain order. If needs be,
I also have a fluorescent gilet,

but that's only
if extreme authority is needed.

And the contestant who does
the best prank in your opinion wins?

The most original.

And it's contestants, plural,
it's in couples.

The March Fools' Day above all
is a team-building activity.

- Team-building.
- Nothing unites humans

as much as being complicit in evil.

That's a theory of mine.

Anyway, give me that.

Find yourself a partner,
it's obligatory.

I think this is the role
of a project manager.

It's not just about time management
and objectives,

it's also about
protecting creativity.

Well done.

From clients, competitors...

I did it for the creatives.

And I know one of them well.

She did it for Alessio.

Because Alessio and Aurora
are always...

Everyone in the office knows,

they're the only ones
who haven't realized.

I mean, you can see,
from outside you say...

No, we're friends,
really close friends.

We complement each other.

Where I was before
was a bit different.

Let's say that this office is...

...special.

At head office
we won lots of prizes.

BEST PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE EMAIL

But they only let me keep one.

"Because obviously you can't take
the awards home, Greta."

"The awards belong to the agency."

"Despite the fact
you're the main reason we won them."

But I'm fine.

I'm fine now.

The way dancers do
pirouettes with their head.

Look, the head is the last to move
and the first to arrive.

I'm very happy
to participate with Greta.

There was an immediate harmony
between us, yeah?

You want to show them
the greeting we invented?

The one with the high-five.

The one with the hand.
No, the other hand, this one.

You remember? The one that goes...

I chose him because he was
the only one left without a partner.

Ciro is incapable of telling a lie.

I feel sorry for Greta, but they have
absolutely no chance of winning.

In general, everyone has a big
problem with originality here.

You guys are such jerks.

It's very difficult to be original
after all these years.

No one comes up with an idea
that makes you go wow!

Wow!

Well, ideas?

I have various ideas.

A couple came to me, very funny,

- There's one... shall I tell you?
- Yes.

- To be done at night, though.
- I wanted to do one at night too.

Don't tell me
we thought the same thing.

I don't know, tell me.

- Shall I tell you?
- Go on.

We enter the office at night,
we go into the bathrooms...

And we turn the toilet paper rolls
the other way round.

People are convinced
they're entering the bathroom

pulling the roll one way, but then
they have to turn them around...

What were you thinking?

We stage a break-in

and remove all the laptops
from the office.

And then we turn the toilet paper
rolls the other way?

"Isonzo Digital Creativity Day".

Well, it's a small event, but they
want me to take part in a webinar.

- Webinar.
- Webinar.

Well, it's a video call, but...

- With an audience, Q&A.
- Webinar.

F24 Communication
will be there as well.

- The brilliant ones?
- Yes.

- The agency...
- Named after a tax form, yes.

It says they really insisted
on taking part.

- That's great.
- Maybe I should tell Roberta?

Maybe, yeah.

I'll speak for the agency,
I think she'll be pleased.

I would say so.

- Can I speak to you in private?
- Sure.

Great.

Webinar.

- It's a video from four years ago.
- Except...

With a panda, yes.

And the concept
works a lot better with a panda.

But who did it?

The agency's F24.
An agency, in my opinion...

With the worst name ever,
but brilliant.

Tomorrow
they'll be at that meeting with you.

They want to drop me in the shit.

I didn't say anything
because you were so fired up...

I didn't want to disillusion you.

We copied the F24 video ourselves
before anyone else copied ours.

It was exactly the same.

I can't believe someone steals things
in this agency.

- Come, come.
- Go, go.

- What's with that hat?
- It's not a hat.

It's a balaclava.

- Take it off.
- OK.

Here, you start with these and
I'll go and get the creatives' ones.

Go, quick.

- Will we take the chargers?
- No.

- No chargers?
- No chargers.

Are you ready?

I wanted to tell Fru's mom I'm sorry.

I'm so afraid.

Ciro?

What are you doing?

I was...

Nothing.

Let's go, let's go.

- I'm go to the bathroom.
- To do what?

- The other thing.
- What thing?

Turn the toilet paper rolls
the other way.

Ciro, still with this!
What did we say?

- Low profile.
- So stick to the plan.

But you said that...

We can't risk getting caught
for stupid shit like this.

But you said we could do both.

The toilet paper prank
is a shitty prank.

Come on, let's go.

I was hurt by that.

I feel that something's missing
in our prank pairing.

Between Greta and me...

there's not that harmony
I thought there was.

Yes.

I'll get my own back.

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Greta, hi,
all the laptops have been stolen.

- No!
- Yes, there was a break-in.

I swear.
They went through everything.

But the only thing they took
were the computers, nothing else.

The problem is the guys are stuck,
they can't work now.

We do have insurance, though,
so if you report it...

- Really?
- Of course.

In fact, last night
someone told the Carabinieri

they'd seen people here
with flashlights

- and they called us.
- Who?

The Carabinieri.
In fact they want to talk to you.

They need
to talk to the person in charge

also because, you know,
for the insurance...

it needs to be reported.
I'm also trying to call Roberta...

No, I'll deal with it, don't worry.

- You haven't spoken to Roberta?
- No.

- Good, you'll deal with it, then.
- Yes.

And so this morning
it occurred to me to call the agency,

from an unknown number
and pretend to be a Carabiniere.

"This is the Carabinieri."

"We've received a report, we'd like
to talk to the person in charge."

"We heard there was a break-in."

I can do a lot of voices!

For example, this is someone
who's smoked since he was a kid.

"I'm 'Pasquale the cigarette'."

"I've been smoking
since I was four years old."

Come on now, don't be like that.

If I don't go, they'll talk
and I'll look like shit.

If I do go, I'll talk
and I'll look like shit.

- I've lost face, it's over.
- Don't get worked up.

- I'll have to quit LinkedIn as well.
- No!

- Yes, I've lost face.
- These things happen at work,

but not everyone makes a drama
out of it.

- So it's my fault?
- No.

They had an idea, they copied
the idea and it's my fault.

It's not your fault,

I'm simply saying
there are no original ideas anymore.

All the great works are copied.

- Give me an example.
- What?

You said it.
Give me an example. Go on.

An example to help you understand...

- An example of a great work...
- That was copied.

The great work can be,
what do I know...?

- Ah, Avatar.
- Avatar.

Avatar, it's an all-blue Pocahontas.

Think about it.

- Another example?
- Another example, what do I know...?

Jurassic World is Jurassic Park,
but set in New York.

Fabio, that's a sequel,
it's not copying, do you understand?

The cameras making a documentary
is from The Office, Aurora.

So everyone copied everything,
is that what you're saying?

That's what I'm saying, Aurora.

I'm trying to make you understand...

Aurora, stop going back and forth!
I'm getting a stiff neck.

There are no original ideas anymore,
everything's been done already.

'The Lion King'.

The Lion King...

Hamlet, the skull...

identical.

Yes, but F24 had the original idea,
Fabio.

Stand still for a moment.
Who says they had the original idea?

Who's to say that maybe they...

copied it as well?

We're following Greta
who's going to hand herself in.

Go, leave. Follow her.

Carabinieri HQ. I can't wait
to see the look on her face.

Pull over, don't let her see you.
Pull over.

Why has she stopped on the bridge?

She's taken the bags
with the computers.

Ciro?

Oh, go, go!

Go.

- Ciro?
- Go.

Did she throw the computers away?

Right, guys, all together now

we'll search the internet,
every videos there is,

until we find the video
from which F24

copied the campaign in 2017, OK?

It's impossible.

We'd have noticed, because
we must have seen all the videos,

the cooking commercials,
open space lofts,

for research purposes or whatever.

Well, ideas are born like that,
brainstorming, analysis.

Basically,
everyone makes proposals out loud.

Then when like an hour has passed...

you search on the internet
for what's already been done.

In what I call osmosis of ideas.

Yes, some people call it inspiration,
but in the end... yes, we copy.

Yes, we copy.

I think I hate Raffaele.

So you're saying there's
a possibility they didn't copy?

Unlikely.

- What?
- The originality.

- So there's a probability...
- Possible probability,

- or probable possibility...
- What does that mean?

It's either possible or probable,
what's the difference?

- It's chimerical.
- What's that got to do with it?

A possible reality of realization.

A possible reality of realization?
Either it's real or it's possible.

Guys, did they copy or not?

Maybe.

I checked the team
of creatives at F24,

and there's Kim Karif
who graduated in Istanbul.

We never looked in Turkish.

- Maybe, or have you checked?
- I checked...

Then if you checked, isn't it maybe,

because maybe is a probability...

Ale, use the online translator
and look for Turkish kitchens videos.

So we're basically copying
another copy.

This may sound bad, but it's not,

because remember,

nothing unites humans

as much as being complicit in evil.

- That's a theory of mine.
- OK, but...

when the insurance money arrives

we can say it was a prank, right?

Are you crazy, Ciro?
My career's already in jeopardy.

If Roberta finds out about this,
I'm dead.

It's important for me, OK?

- You have to keep this secret.
- OK.

I'm sorry
about the toilet-paper prank.

But I'm trusting you on this now.

Thank you.

We googled,
we changed the language,

we spent the whole afternoon looking
for kitchens videos in Turkish,

we didn't find anything.

But I now know
the Turkish for kitchens is mutfak.

Hey, I've found it.

Found it.

It's the same.

The chainsaw, the kitchen...

A giant penguin.

I asked the guys
to leave me the meeting room free

because I have a call to make
with those F24 assholes.

It works better with the penguin, eh?

Yes.

Alright, it doesn't matter, let's go.

- Ciro.
- Eh?

I'm surprised I haven't seen
you and Greta's prank yet.

- Did you not do anything?
- Yes...

We're thinking of doing something.

Greta said she still
hadn't gone to the Carabinieri.

And Marica
is about to report the theft.

Unbelievable.

On the pranks day the computers
disappear, and it's not a prank,

I mean, really... what a coincidence.

It would've been a beautiful prank
if you think about it, wouldn't it?

The best in the history
of this office.

Yes, in fact it would've been
the prank of the century, yes!

Ciro Priello, Golden Fish 2023.

- But this isn't a prank.
- No, this isn't a prank.

I love you, you're a friend to me,
no, you're a brother to me.

As are you for me.

But my role and my whistle

force me
to ask you to end this farce.

Confess, speak.

Say it's a prank,
you'll win your first golden fish.

It's not a prank, though.

You can't win a psychological war
with me.

- Why not?
- Because I know you too well.

I can make you cry if I want to.

I can make you laugh if I want to,
when I want to, on command.

That's not true.

- No?
- No.

Not even if I said...

flatulist.

Flatulist, flatulist.

Fla...tulist.

Fla-tu-list.

There's a moment in a man's life
when...

Flatulist!

...he has to overcome
his limitations.

You're a disappointment.

I'm ashamed to be your mother.

Another year without surprises.

I'm...

disappointed.

About tonight,

Aurora and I were wondering,

what do you want
to talk about tonight?

Cards on the table,
tonight we're going to talk

about a certain panda...

Beautiful, a panda,
a beautiful animal.

Tonight.

I discovered that Ciro
is more reliable than I thought.

We basically played the prank of the
century and no one will ever know.

- That's OK.
- That's OK.

What if instead
we talked about a certain penguin?

A Turkish penguin?

Chainsaw... woman, what do you say?

This year too
the March Fools' Day competition

was a real disappointment,
especially from some people.

March Fools' Day
had proven to be a waste of time

from the point of view of creativity.

But you have to admit
it's a good team-building idea.

Or you know what we'll do?
None of us will go to this meeting.

We'll do a nice Tweet
in which we both apologize

and wish each other well with
the little muscles and hearts emojis.

- Well done, Aurora.
- Is this a good idea?

OK, so maybe we'll do the Tweet
with the little hearts and muscles.

And that's OK, eh?

Now I'll do my dance of joy.

But with the prank
of the stapler in the jelly,

- Alfredo and Giuliano win.
- Yes.

In the end, everything works out.

We clarified things, like I said,
I already know that in the end...

Don't cry on me...

I mean, it's a fact... basically...

ATA... charity...

F24... and we're good.

- Well done.
- Well done.

- Excuse me for not being honest.
- Don't worry.

Next time I'll smash your face in.

Yes, friends.

Because in the end being
more original doesn't matter,

humanity's already invented
everything.

This race for originality
is a solo event.

And so we just have to steal things
that already exist

and keep it secret.

Guys, who turned all the toilet rolls
the other way?

BEST PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE EMAIL

Because I think that...

nothing unites humans
as much as being complicit in evil.

And keeping the secret.

This is a theory of mine.

Speaking of secrets, guys,
the moment has come when I remind you

that no one here
has signed the disclaimers

- you asked us to sign.
- No.

So,
since I'm in charge of the agency,

I don't consent
to the dissemination of the material.

If you'd like to stop and hand over
the footage... thank you.

And then, if I may say,

the idea of making a documentary
in the office might be original,

but it'll never work...

Who's gonna watch
something like that?

'Avatar' is clearly 'Pocahontas'.

Except for the figure,
which is blue, that's the difference.

But the foreigner who invades...

nature, the beach.

I mean, it's that...

Now you have to invent...

What did you invent?
You didn't invent anything.

But in turn, Pocahontas for sure

will have been inspired by something.

That's definite.

On the Bible.

See, Aurora? It's going fine.

She looks like a kidnap victim to me,
but if you're happy...

Good.

- The granddaughter, Camilla...
- I know, she's spoiled and a bitch,

but nothing lasts forever,
except candida.

- What are you doing?
- Photographing my feet.

Why?

Water.

Exploiting seniors isn't even a
thing. Who would exploit a senior?

Have you ever heard
of copywriter's coffee?

No.

- I'm taking Grandma Lia for a walk.
- A remake of 'The Intouchables.'

Intouchables.
