Augusto, Carlo, and Roberto are scam artists who often work together. Middle-age divorced Augusto is the oldest, most seasoned in the business, and the trios spiritual leader. They either are immune to the notion that most of their victims are not wealthy--most uneducated, rural peasants--or dont care that they make at most a few hundred thousand lira at a time. Each of the three is at a different stage of life, which makes Carlo and Augusto examine what theyre doing more critically, each stemming from a specific incident. Roberto, the youngest, still lives solely for the here-and-now and will take any money willingly. Carlo would like to make a living as an artist, hence his nickname of Picasso, if only it would support him, his loyal wife Iris, and their adolescent daughter Silvania. Carlo has told Iris that his frequent absences is in his work as a traveling salesman with Augusto, but she can no longer bury her head in the sand about what hes doing upon a last-minute social evening out with his associates on New Years Eve. Augustos examination of his life begins upon a chance encounter with his young-adult daughter Patrizia, whom he had not seen in years and didnt even recognize. Augusto is torn between what his money can afford in getting Patrizia on her feet as she contemplates extending her expensive education, versus being a role model to her.
Aging small-time con man Augusto, who swindles peasants, works with two younger men: Roberto, who wants to become the Italian Johnny Ray, and Bruno, nicknamed Picasso, who has a wife and daughter and wants to paint. Augusto avoids the personal entanglements, spending money at clubs seeking the good life. His attitude changes when he runs into his own daughter, whom he rarely sees, and realizes shes now a young woman who needs his help to continue her studies. His usual partners are away, so he goes in with others to run a swindle, and they arent forgiving when he claims hes given the money back to their mark. They leave him beaten, robbed, and alone.
