The streets of the city are a maze in which a great deal of characters wonders about, seeking their destiny with difficulty or more simply trying to live.
Bernardo is one of them. He is undecided whether to go on with his profession as a lawyer or give up in favour of a passion for cooking and for running a restaurant. Then, there are his friends, Carlo and Giulio; There is Vera, who comes from South America; there is Bene, a young student at DAMS (Editor’s Note: Faculty of Cinema and Television), who faces the materialization of death; there are Igor and Viktor, two Russian brothers and two micro-criminals, unable to find their place in the civil society.
A factory building becomes the place where the dreams and the fates of Bernardo and Carlo meet, cross and interfere with those of Igor and Viktor. This triggers a raving journey/chase that pushes the characters out of the city, towards the country and the sea. At the end of this journey Bernardo will manage to ‘get out of his territory’ and will find the strength to fulfil his dreams.
