Vincenzo runs a gas station on a provincial road. He suffers from an OCD that makes his life full of maniacally ordered gestures and rituals. The hours go by, the songs on the stereo, the cars and the jokes of two kids. Only a woman seems to notice him and she lights something in Vincenzo that makes him react in an unexpected way.
