A melancholic family drama about Italian migrants in 1970s Germany, tracing the fracture between a father's ambitions and his sons' rebellion against inherited duty.

The movie portrays the story of an Italian family emigrated in Germany in the 1970s. Romano (Gigi Savoia), the father, decides to open a pizzeria which, by mutual decision with the wife Rosa (Antonella Attili), will call Solino, leaving his sons Gigi and Giancarlo to work there.
