At the end of the war, Odysseus, the wandering hero, with his companions begins his sail back home to the Mediterranean. The conclusion of his adventure is delayed by many natural obstacles and he takes an internal journey of fleeting memories of his childhood, his parents, love for a beautiful girl, nostalgia for the past, regret for what he did, and the deep silence that envelops everything. He confronts the most terrible loneliness following a shipwreck in which all the comrades perish.

Set on an August afternoon in the Lombardy countryside, a family lingers around the table after a long summer meal. As the day stretches on, each member moves off to their own activities, quietly passing the hours.

Visual ode to contemplative journey through the stages of life and the essence of human existence, set in a timeless backdrop of an Italian village.

Domenico Greco is an unlucky stage actor drowning in debt, living as a freeloader in the home of his sister-in-law, Rosetta—the widow of his late brother—who has a nine-year-old son suffering from a heart condition. The only way to save the boy is through surgery in America, but the procedure costs 160,000 euros. In their desperation, they turn to Saint Januarius in prayer, begging for a miracle. The saint seemingly "responds," giving them the green light to "take" one of the jewels from his miter—kept alongside his famous treasure in the church crypt. In reality, it is merely the voice of a parking attendant echoing through the nave—a sound that Domenico and Rosetta mistake for a message from Saint Januarius. Joined by Ferdinando, Cesare, and Claudia, they embark on a "treasure hunt" that takes them from Naples to Turin, and eventually to Cannes, on the French Riviera.

A convicted terrorist out on parole meets a man she nearly murdered 15 years before, without recognizing him. He does so, but he chooses to keep quiet and spend time with her—desperate to understand the reasons behind her gesture.
