Italian smash hit, MY BEST ENEMY, is a delightful and comedy that reunites actor-director Carlo Verdone with his MANUAL OF LOVE co-star Silvio Muccino (also co-writer) in an hilarious tale of two nemeses coming together for the love of a girl: One happens to be her boyfriend, the other, her father.
Achilles (Verdone), the CEO of a hotel chain owned by his wife and brother-in-law, accuses one of his employees of stealing and fires her on the spot. She cries to her son, Orfeo (Muccino), who urges Achilles to rehire his mother - to no avail - then decides he is going to ruin the adulterous Achilles' life. Along the way, Orfeo falls in love with the beautiful but troubled Cecelia, who turns out to be Achilles' daughter.
