Shun Li ha viajado desde china hasta Roma para ganarse la vida de cualquier forma. La inmigrante ha conseguido un empleo en una fábrica textil situada a las afueras de la capital y ve más cerca su sueño: legalizar su situación y ahorrar para poder traerse a su hijo, de apenas ocho años, a Italia. Pronto, Shun Li es trasladada a Chioggia, un pueblo de Venecia, para trabajar como camarera en un club donde conocerá a Bepi, uno de los clientes más fieles del sitio. Bepi, apodado el poeta, se gana la vida como pescador, aunque lo que verdaderamente le apasiona son los caminos de la poesía –justificación a su sobrenombre- y la filosofía. Entre la camarera y el poeta surge pronto la amistad y ambos mantienen conversaciones bastante trascendentales que se convierten en una vía de escape a la soledad y la rutina diarias. Sin embargo, no todos los habitantes de esta comunidad pesquera verán esta amistad intercultural con buenos ojos.

Melé canta en un bar, su marido Chaka está en el paro y la pareja está a punto de romper. El patio de la casa que comparten con otras familias se ha convertido en una sala de juicios: portavoces de la sociedad civil africana acusan al Banco Mundial y al Fondo Monetario Internacional de los males que afligen a África. Y mientras se suceden las declaraciones de acusadores, defensores y testigos, la vida en el patio continúa. Chaka no parece muy preocupado por este deseo insólito de África de luchar por sus derechos. (FILMAFFINITY)
