In a picturesque hamlet overlooking the sea near Rome, two young men divide their time between petty thefts and football matches. Their crimes have the lightheartedness and exuberance of childhood games, until an unexpected proposal marks a change in their lives, and that of the history of Italy, with the death of Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Años 90, en las afueras de Roma hacia Ostia, mismo lugar donde acontecían los films de Pasolini. Sus personajes, en los 90, parecen pertenecer a un mundo que gira alrededor del hedonismo. Un mundo donde el dinero, coches de lujo, clubes nocturnos, cocaína y drogas sintéticas son fáciles de encontrar. Un mundo donde Vittorio y Cesare, veinteañeros, van en busca de su propio éxito. El inicio de su existencia tendrá un alto precio para Vittorio: para salvarse a sí mismo, abandona a Cesare, que inexorablemente se hundirá. Pero el vínculo que los une es tan fuerte que en realidad Vittorio nunca le abandonará, siempre con la esperanza de afrontar el futuro con una nueva mirada. Juntos.
