Michele is a Communist MP who loses his memory in a car crash—although nobody seems to notice it. During a water polo match ahead of election day, he starts to remember his past life, revealing the picture of a man whose personal and political identity crisis mirrors the one of Italian communism.
젊은 사제 돈 줄리오는 십년동안 살던 섬을 떠나, 그의 고향인 작은 로마 교구 로 가게 된다. 하지만 성당은 운영되지 않다는 것을 알게 된다. 전 사제는 근처에서 여 자와 살면서 아들까지 있었고, 줄리오는 부모, 여동생, 옛날 친구들을 만나지만 그들은 변해 있었다. 마을사람들이 처한 어려움을 도우려고 하지만 그의 도움도 거절하고 자신 의 가족들마저도 해체되고 있었다. 줄리오는 사람들과 더 가깝게 지낼 수 있는 먼 곳으 로 떠나기로 결정한다.
Eccentric and full of manias, Michele is a young high school professor who defines himself as “not used to happiness”. He realizes his life is meaningless if he doesn’t have a woman by his side but, after a series of rather disastrous experiences, he feels more alone than ever. Then, out of the blue, a new French teacher called Bianca arrives at school. Amongst uncertainties and contradictions, the two start dating. In the meantime, a series of homicides take place and a police officer begins to suspect that Michele is involved. Bianca will save him providing an alibi at the right moment, but then, everything goes wrong again.
