He didn’t expect to find the island all abuzz with Sabry Mazzalupi’s marriage to her partner Cesare. This young woman, who’s the awkward daughter of Roman shopkeeper Ruggero, has become an online celebrity and her wedding is a global event attracting the media as well as mysterious emissaries from the new political regime. These two tribes of vacationers, two seemingly irreconcilable sides of Italy, are destined to come together during the Ferragosto holiday for an ultimate showdown.

In Rome it hasn’t rained for three years and the lack of water is overturning rules and habits. Through the city dying of thirst and prohibitions moves a chorus of people, young and old, marginalised and successful, victims and profiteers. Their lives are linked in a single design, while each seeks his or her deliverance.
Paola
Es temprano por la mañana y el mar de Ostia está en calma. Un hombre toca a la puerta de la casa de una mujer: su objetivo es venderle un reloj. Es de nuevo temprano cuando, unos días después, un joven asistente profesor de filosofía descubre que no formará parte del grupo de expertos que participarán en la exhumación del cadáver de Nietzsche. Dos reclamaciones, dos familias aparentemente incompatibles: los Pavone y los Vismara. La primera, burgués e intelectual; la segunda, proletaria y fascista. Dos facciones opuestas que forman parte de un mismo ecosistema: Roma. Un incidente en apariencia insignificante enfrenta a ambos extremos. Será la estupidez de un hombre de 25 años la que revele que todo el mundo guarda secretos y que nadie es lo que aparenta. Que, en realidad, todos somos depredadores.
