Logline
An episodic portrait of late-stage capitalism with a keen sense of situational comedy.
It’s early in the morning, and all is quiet on the Sea of Ostia. A man knocks on a woman’s door: he’s going to sell her a watch. It’s early morning again a few days later when a young assistant professor of philosophy is left out of the group selected for the exhumation of Nietzsche’s body. Two wrongs suffered. This is the story of two completely opposite households: the Pavone are intellectual and bourgeois; the Vismara are proletarian and fascists. They are two tribes sharing the same jungle: Rome. A trivial accident brings these two poles together. The madness of a 25-year-old youth will set them on a collision course, revealing that everyone has a secret. People are never what they seem — but we are all predators in the end.
