Papero, Ballerina, Merda and Plissé have a shot at robbery, hoping to pull off a heist that will change their lives forever. It doesn't matter that the former has no legs and Ballerina, his very beautiful wife, has no arms, that Merda is a drug-addicted Rasta and Plissé a dwarf rapper. These are just details. For them there are no obstacles, only dreams. Even though, after the robbery, things get complicated: every member of the unlikely band seems to have hatched a plan to keep the loot for themselves. Everyone steals from everyone else, showing no pity in a flurry of chases, bloody vendettas, gory executions and mutual betrayals.

Director's Statement
The underlying theme of Brutti e cattivi is equality. The whole film revolves around the "rule" that any human being can be cynical and ruthless regardless of his or her appearance. Brutti e cattivi is an action comedy that breaks the mold, in which a bunch of luckless and vicious but shrewd and daring scoundrels pull off an ingenious heist. That's not all: we see them having sex, offending and being offended, killing and being killed, in a whirlwind of events. But it is not a realistic film. It is a film that, walking a tightrope between the true and the plausible, aims to attain a dimension that is at once lyrical and entertaining.

Il Papero, Ballerina, il Merda e Plissé s'improvvisano rapinatori per il colpo che cambierà la loro vita. Non importa se il primo è senza gambe e Ballerina, la sua bellissima moglie, non ha le braccia, se Merda è un rasta tossico e Plissé un nano rapper. Sono solo dettagli. Per loro non ci sono ostacoli. Solo sogni.
Anche se, dopo il colpo, le cose si complicano: ogni membro dell'improbabile banda sembra avere un piano tutto suo per tenersi il malloppo. Tutti fregano tutti senza nessuna pietà in una girandola d'inseguimenti, cruente vendette, esecuzioni sanguinose e tradimenti incrociati.
