Synopsis
In 'Be Sick… It's Free', a satirical comedy directed by Luigi Zampa, Alberto Sordi plays the role of the cunning and charismatic doctor, Antonio Cacciapuoti. Set in Rome, the film hilariously explores the absurdities of the Italian healthcare system as Dr. Cacciapuoti navigates through the bureaucracy and corruption to take advantage of the 'free' healthcare for his own gain. With his unconventional methods and quick wit, Dr. Cacciapuoti manages to outsmart both patients and colleagues alike, leading to a series of chaotic and humorous situations. As the plot unfolds, the movie offers a sharp critique of the medical profession and societal norms of the time, all while delivering laughs and heartwarming moments.
