A man (Ettore Scarpa) and a woman (Viren Beltramo) meet in a trattoria: both have been married, both have children, but most importantly they both live in a world that has banned sadness and melancholy. A dystopian future in which it is difficult to build human relationships and society demands mandatory optimism, provided by pills, injections, violence and constant monitoring of citizens: a world based on appearances, where humanity in all its forms has become anesthetised.
