Plot

The Roman lawyer Fabio Ciulla (Cristian De Sica) goes on holiday to Egypt. He is pursuing his wife, whom he has repeatedly cheated on, in an attempt to persuade her to forgive him. The police sergeant Enrico Ombroni (Massimo Boldi) also travels to the land of the Pharaohs with a guard (Biagio Izzo) to get his young daughter (Lucrezia Piaggio) away from a musical group of which she is a fan. The two protagonists meet in Egypt for an exchange of misunderstandings, since Ciulla by mistake has a love affair with a young girl while his wife forgives him. The girl is engaged to the son of Ciulla, who plans to get rid of the tangle by a clever ruse. Meanwhile Ombroni's daughter runs away with the crew of her favorite musical group, who have come to Egypt to shoot an exotic video.
