Two childhood friends Richard and Gabriel, alias Mallus and Chiazzetta, have undertaken both artistic careers. Mallus wants to become an actor and has left Latina to study in Rome. Chiazzetta wants to make it as a singer-songwriter pop, but still lives in Latina. In a moment of crisis in which Mallus can not find the character during the rehearsal of Chekhov's “Seagull” in Rome, he returned to Latina for a holiday hoping to find himself and his character lost. Following the adventures of the two main characters we dive into an imaginary journey as much as it is real in the small town, through the voices of various local artists.
