Matteo is a successful, open-minded, fascinating and dynamic young entrepreneur. His brother Ettore still lives in the small provincial town where they were both born and where he teaches high school. He is a cautious, upstanding man who has always taken a step back into the shadows to avoid mistakes. They are two seemingly very distant people. But life forces them to get closer and a difficult situation becomes for the two brothers the opportunity to get to know each other and discover themselves surprisingly united, in a whirlwind of fragility and tenderness, fear and euphoria.
