  from. When a new reformist government vows to cut down on bureaucracy,
  Checco refuses to take a severence payout and is transferred to the North
  Pole out of spite.
  But as someone who refuses to to relinquish such a privilege, this slacker
  will go to every length to keep his entitlements at the expense of all
  others.
  With non-stop gags and pointed satire, it is no wonder that the film was
  such a huge success.
