Se Fossi te, la trama
Massimo Mancuso (Marco Bocci) and Valentina Sangiorgi (Laura Chiatti) live in the same city, work in the same company, but seem opposite entities. He is a worker who has to fight every day to land the lunar and keep the two sons and the father, who lives in the house since a disease took away the beloved wife. Valentina is the daughter of Primo, the owner and founder of the company. She lives in a beautiful house, along with a husband who loves her and a son for whom she has already been designed a bright future. In appearance an agiate and trouble-free life.
The day and night, in short, parallel straights destined to never meet, at least in appearance. Yeah, because life has an incredible surprise for them. Approaching Christmas, Massimo discovers that his son Peter suffers from the same pathology as his wife in need of a costly operation. Valentina’s life is also shocked by her father’s sudden malore. And so, while he needs to ask for the advance of the TFR, she inherits the company’s rudder, discovering however that the accounts are in red and that her father claims that she does one thing: to fire. The confrontation between Massimo and Valentina is inevitable, reciprocal prejudices explode and both end up wishing to be in the shoes of the other. And that’s exactly what happens.
Maximus will suddenly find himself in the body of his head, in his designer clothes, in his luxurious villa, discovering that it is not all gold that glitters. Valentina will find herself wearing the humble and unhappy clothes of her employee, to have to come to terms with mustache and beard, but also to discover her particular history and the human warmth of her family. It will be the beginning of a path of mutual knowledge.

First episode – Impasto e lievitation: Massimo, a worker of Sangiorgi and a single father who already struggles to land the lunar, discovers that his son Peter has a possible cardiopathy. To cure it needs the TFR, but the company for which it works pours in critical conditions. To make things worse, the owner Primo Sangiorgi is caught by malore and must leave the rudder to Valentina, the daughter, of which he does not trust and gives the categorical order to cut the organic. Massimo and Valentina find themselves on opposite, hostile and prejudiced fronts. After a fierce confrontation, they wish each other to be in the shoes of the other… without imagining that desire is about to come true.
Second episode – Cover: Massimo and Valentina wake up in exchanged bodies and, panicfully, try to manage families and roles of others. She confronts Oscar, Massimo’s father, and his mania for spicy food, distracted house, recalcitrant children and the excavated car; he finds himself in the luxury of the villa, between talking showers and breakfasts from hotela five stars, but where, under appearances, they hide magagne. Waiting to understand how to return to their bodies promise not to intervene in the reciprocal lives, but soon they will understand that keeping faith in that promise is not as easy as it seems.
