PLOT:

Mario Bettini (Fabio Volo,) is a surveyor on his thirties, full of life and ideas. He has a big dream: Open a business with his friends. Overall, who has never dreamt about it?

To achieve his dreams, Mario is willing to do anything, even living a temporary life and accepting to be somebody else.

So, when Mario receives a job offer to work as a public officer in his city, he decides to accept it, even if the job is far away from his inspirations and principles.

Mario will crush against a world of bleakness, bureaucracy, subterfuges, darkness, and humiliation.

In this world, all his excitement, ideas and projects will be lived as a contagious disease from which he should get urgently cured.

But the encounter with a girl (Valeria Solarino) will open Mario perspectives and give him the courage to hope and dream again.

The dream will be not to open a business anymore, but to live in a country where people would be respected and recognized from what they really are and deserve…
