Three Italians travel to their hometown to vote for elections: Pasquale is a Southern immigrant living in Munich who's genuinely happy to come back to Italy, even if just for a few days, but the country he dreams of is far from reality; Furio travels to Rome with his family, but his niggling attitude threatens to push his wife Magda over the edge; young Mimmo is also going to Rome, but the trip is repeatedly interrupted by worries about his grandma's health.
En una terraza de Roma se reúne un grupo de personas. Algunos son amigos, otros conocidos y otros se acaban de conocer. Todos son intelectuales y pertenecen a la clase media. En una de esas reuniones se encuentran Enrico, un guionista en crisis, Amedeo, un productor, Luigi, editor y periodista, Sergio, un ejecutivo de TV, Galeazzo, que acaba de regresar de Venezuela, Bruno, productor de anuncios de TV, y Mario, un diputado del Partido Comunista.
