Matteo es un joven emprendedor con tanto éxito como tan pocos prejuicios, fascinante y dinámico. Su hermano Ettore todavía vive como profesor de escuela en el pueblo en que ambos nacieron. Es un hombre cauto e íntegro que se esfuerza por no cometer errores dando siempre un paso atrás, hacia la sombra. Todo lo que separan dos personalidades aparentemente opuestas habrá de superarse a raíz de una difícil situación que aproximará a los dos hermanos, obligándolos a conocerse y descubrir el vínculo que los une, en un vórtice de fragilidad y ternura, miedo y euforia.
