Carlos Leal is AUGUSTO

also known as “the bumbler”

His motto: I didn’t do it on purpose

 

If a table turns over, a bicycle slips and crashes in the street, a pizza falls on the floor, glassware is broken, you can be sure that Augusto must be nearby. Clumsy, clueless, inept and naive, Augusto is however also, for those who know how to appreciate him, a great poet. Mario understands this and, thanks to Augusto, his plan will take on a decisive change.
