Plot summary
Dante drives a school bus in Cesena for students with Down syndrome, fakes a disability to collect government payments, and steals bananas from greengrocers; his closest friend is Lillo, a student with diabetes whom he keeps away from sweets. At a soiree he fails to charm his co-worker and other women. Maria nearly runs him down with her car and is struck by his resemblance to Johnny Stecchino, her husband, a gangster wanted by the Sicilian Mafia for killing the wife of a mobster named Cozzamara and despised by the people of Palermo. Maria tracks him down near his apartment a second time, without telling him her plan: to pass him off to the Sicilian mafia as the mobster they are hunting.
