In contemporary digital society where the smartphone dominates the days of technological man, Giuseppe Russo has a wife, a house, a permanent place with which he can afford to shop at the mall and his political beliefs; but when he meets a strange tramp who gives him some old video tapes in which he has been filmed since he was a child, but of which he remembers nothing, he realizes that the reality that surrounds him is very different from what he seems.
Someone spies on him, he controls him: but Giuseppe Russo is not one of many. To rediscover its authenticity, it is willing to do anything. What is the mystery of an employee and a life so “normal”?

DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
The struggle not to become one of those millions of frustrated, nauseated, stressed human beings of modern society is fierce and savage and without the exclusion of blows. There is always a master ready to take you under his wing asking for your freedom in return, or some rich cunning speculator who wants to monopolize the market with violence. The vast majority adapts in exchange for a false security of a mediocre life, many free spirits do not make it and end up marginalized or killed. Only a few, very few make it and are rare exceptions.
