A Joke of Destiny, Lying in Wait Around the Corner Like a Street Bandit

Original title: Scherzo del destino in agguato dietro l'angolo come un brigante da strada

Directed by Lina Wertmüller

When the Minister of the Interior accidentally becomes locked inside his computerized, armoured limo following a mechanical failure, it triggers a series of headline-making events, especially as he happens to be in front of his political opponent's home. The event becomes a scandal involving many, including the rival, his feminist daughter, his wife, and her one-time terrorist lover hiding in the basement.
