Italian filmmaker Giulio Manfredonia makes his feature debut with the fantasy comedy If I Were You. Three very different men are accidentally brought together for a drunken night on the beach. Andrea (Emilio Solfrizzi) is an unfulfilled family man, Bernardo (Gioele Dix) is an angry corporate businessman, and Christian (Fabio de Luigi) is a nice yet broke DJ. When each one wishes to be in another's place, they magically switch identities. Andrea gets Christian's life, where he finally fulfills his dream of being a stand up comedian. Bernardo gets Andrea's life, where he appreciates his wife and kids. And Christian gets Bernardo's life, where he finally has enough money. However, problems come up and they miss their old lives, causing them to reevaluate their initial wishes.
