Germano and Emilio, sons of the same father by two different women, meet again after a long silence. They could not be more different, united only by their unsatisfied love for their father Giovanni, a powerful, passionate, self-centred man who left Germano's mother because his new partner was expecting Emilio, and soon left her too, like every other woman in his life. Germano, always the favourite, has never forgiven his younger brother for causing his parents' divorce; Emilio grew up knowing he was the unwanted son and has always sought, in vain, the affection of his father and brother. In the few days they spend together, old anger and the call of blood resurface.
