Simone is a 19-year student who lives in his own little world, his bedroom, since his father died a year earlier. Antonella, his mother, is the only one who barely talks with him. One day, Simone is contacted online by a boy: his name is Riccardo and they become friends. Simone is over and over hooked on his friendship with Riccardo, while the relationship with Antonella becomes even harder, until Riccardo invites Simone to hang with him.
