Biagio and Salvatore meet one morning by chance at the non-Catholic cemetery in Rome, where they have gone to visit Gregory Corso’s grave. They thus find themselves discussing poetry, modern times that have annulled the word, the nostalgia of “living in verse” and ask themselves if what happened in 1979 at Castelporziano will ever happen again, when authors from all over the world gathered in a great Woodstock of Poetry. Following the two poets on buses and subways, glimpses of walks and trips by car, all form an unusual description of Rome, a journey following the melancholy of the past and the uncertainty of the present, a sort of poetic tale.
Ermanno lives surrounded by commonplaces about Naples and Scampia: harassed by crime news that describe these cities as a dantesque inferno of shootings, murders, drug dealers. Nevertheless, ordinary good people who do not get into the news live in Scampia. When he finally gets to Naples to sign a deal as a contractor for a project that will boost his career, he has to face reality: the meeting is in a warehouse in Scampia.
