A grim character study of radicalization and moral compromise, following a young man's descent into neo-Nazi violence and the internal contradictions that threaten to unravel his new identity.

22-year-old Marco leads an aimless life in Rome's suburbs. One day he meets skinhead Saverio, aka 'Führer', head of a local neo-nazi chapter. Marco becomes fascinated with their single-minded purpose and ends up joining Führer's group, partaking in bullying, beatings, and other violent activities. However he is hiding his previous relationship with an immigrant Somalian girl.
