In seaside Italy, a Holocaust survivor with a daycare business takes in a 12-year-old street kid who recently robbed her.

Set against the backdrop of the 2009 economic crisis, Brianza follows Giorgio Farina, the heir to a historic gun shop who faces ruin after a failed luxury investment in Switzerland. Desperate to save his social standing, he enters into a dangerous partnership with eccentric businessman Alberto Fumagalli. What begins as an illicit scheme quickly plunges Giorgio into a downward spiral of debt, crime, and peril, threatening his family, his reputation, and his life.

Antonio and Agostino grew up together in a small town in Sicily; they dreamt of living a different life, somewhere else. Now thirty-year-olds, they both live abroad but they lost touch years ago. When Antonio discovers that the house he grew up in, which had been empty for a long time, is about to be sold at auction, he decides to leave and reconnects with his childhood friend. But their lives have changed a lot. Old conflicts and new revelations bring them through Europe on a truck journey.

A clash between fishermen and poachers is surging on the Po river Delta. A local group of volunteers lead by Osso wants to save the river from overfishing and defend it from the Florians, a family on the run from the Danube region. They have with them Elia, who once was part of the local community and now is on the opposite side of the conflict. Overtaken by blind violence and thirst for vengeance, Elia and Osso will confront each other in the Delta fogs, discovering their real nature in a fight that has no heroes.

Portrait of love in our times through a mosaic of looks, faces, stories collected by numerous authors around Italy. The result is a multifaceted image, capable of representing the most elusive of feelings and making people reflect with lightness and irony.
