A portrait of young Italians who have emigrated to Tirana (alone, in couples or with the whole family) in order to work in Albanian Call Centers with no guaranteed security or trades union. A comparison will emerge in the course of the film between the fantastic image of Italy cultivated by young Albanians in their dreams of their own future and the crude reality in the recent past of their Italian contemporaries: disappointed young people who have grown old before their time, deprived of hope to the point of taking the opposite migration course from Italy to Albania. They are all thrown together to struggle, to hope and to float in the great virtual acquarium of global telephonic marketing, an eternal today in which precariousness is the only thing that they can ever share.
