Life in suburban Palermo can be tough: Salvo is a young father who struggles between makeshift jobs and criminal-grotesque affairs to support his son. When the spiral of violence turns against him, he runs into Ciurè, a transgender dancer who helps him, opening doors to a kaleidoscopic gay night club where she performs every night. Will Salvo be able to overcome his prejudices against the "wanderers of the night" and put on new clothes, to the point of reinventing himself in a new body?
