Overview

On the set of Cambogia, a popular crime series filled with shootouts, explosions, and gang rivalries, something goes terribly wrong when the director calls cut. Actor Valerio De Nicolais suddenly finds himself trapped inside the violent and extremely dangerous world of the show, where prop guns fire real bullets. Meanwhile, in the real world, Tramezzino, the hapless henchman played by De Nicolais, takes his place. Through a series of unbelievable circumstances, the two find themselves living each other’s lives: one caught up in parties, privileges, and the perks of fame, the other forced to survive in a criminal underworld that seems to have already sealed his fate.
