[edit]Antonio Gargiulo is a poor accountant who goes to the hospital to collect medical records, suspecting that he has a serious bad health. But he's fine: really bad is the grandfather of a girl who does not give peace for the bad news. Antonio is sorry and tries to console her by offering to exchange the medical records so the old man, discovering he is healthy, will die happy.
