C, a young man of the Salento bored by his everyday life, shares the boredom with two friends: S, trumpeter of the city music band, and R, a former gas station attendant who runs his life listlessly. Among the ruins, architectural relics and private places, C dreams of destruction: his, however, is a visionary pyromania and impotent, only imagined from his mind and painted in his eyes ... Meanwhile, three immigrants lands on the shores of the Adriatic sea and cross places abandoned by history...
