Plot

Peppino, a provincial librarian who became the accidental President of Italy, is now a father and has returned to a peaceful, happy life as a woodsman. That is, until his wife Janis decides to return to politics. Peppino is forced to abandon his home in the mountains and return to Rome to win back his love and help her defeat a speculative plot intended to damage Italy. Together, they must fight against social media attacks of the opposition and get the country back on its feet.

Although I appreciated Benvenuto Presidente, at least for the original idea behind the presidential election of the main character Giuseppe Garibaldi,this movie has got nothing to say apart from making a parody of the events and the people involved in the recent italian elections (as if reality isn't comical enough).The desperate economical situation gets paradoxically solved with the arrest of four people responsible for all the words problems (as the teased politicians in the movie actually state).In the end there is room for an avoidable provocation which I do not fully understand.Anyway,remarkable acting from Claudio Bisio.
