In Pisa, in a flat crammed with paintings and musical instruments, Pietro Benati grows up in a family that is present but has blown apart, with an inadequate father and an elder brother, Tommaso. Quiet and decent, he looks for himself among studies, passions, promises and disappointments, friendship, love, sex and mourning, drifting between Pisa and Madrid with two troubled friends of his own age, Dora and Laurent. In the background, barely sketched but menacing, is the violence of the early 2000s, from the beatings of young protesters to the terrorist attacks in European cities, in the story of a wounded, uprooted generation.
