Three Italians in their seventies, all dealing with their own problems, decide all of a sudden to quit their community life to settle abroad. But where? This is the first question of one too many. The Professor, retired after teaching Latin his whole life, is getting bored. Giorgetto, one of the last true Romans, struggles every month to make ends meet. Attilio, a hippie antique dealer, wants to experience again the emotions of his youth travels. Things will change, but not quite as they expected.
