Nero is a middle-aged delinquent who commits petty crimes to support his sister Imma, who suffers from mental illness. By accident, Nero kills a gas station attendant during a holdup. Distraught and on the run, he is shocked to find out that the attendant has regained consciousness and is uninjured. The miracle is attributed to the Madonna of the detergents, a statue on display in the man’s store. But a policeman, Abate, is investigating the surveillance videos and becomes convinced that the power to heal came from Nero. Desperate, Abate implores Nero to save his daughter, who is in a coma, and when the man does, in fact, manage to wake up the girl he realizes that he has an extraordinary gift. But there is also a price to pay: each time he heals someone, Nero loses one of his five senses. To what point is he willing to sacrifice himself for others?
