Isidoro (Nicola Nocella), known to everyone as Easy, is lonely and depressed. His career as a go-kart driver is over because he gained so much weight that he’s not able to get into the seat any more. When Taras, a Ukrainian worker, dies while working on a building project for Easy’s brother Filo, Easy gets a chance for a fresh start behind the steering wheel. Filo gives his sibling the seemingly simple assignment of driving Taras in his coffin from Italy to his home village in the Carpathians, a journey which turns out to be complicated and epic. Easy sets off with GPS, an apple, a smart phone set to translate from Hungarian to Italian, and a winter coat from his mother. The hearse is soon stolen, but Easy remains steadfast in his promise to deliver Taras to his resting place, hitching a ride with the wooden box, putting it on a tractor, and even floating down a river astride the coffin.
Easy was nominated for Best Actor and Best New Director at the David di Donatello Awards and won the Jury Prize for Best Actor at the Monte Carlo Comedy Film Festival.
