The Chinatown in Milan is highly problematic, recording several murders a year, perpetrated with meat-axes, in the streets, by the light of the sun. When an Italian guy asks a Chinese girl's hand in marriage, this triggers a domino-like plot of confrontations among a crowd of characters. Starting from the focus on one of the largest and oldest Chinatowns in Europe, the film carries the spectators into a universal metaphor on hatred and dreams between West and China.

“Earthquake” is a child who struggles more than others to channel his exuberance and for this very reason he got this nickname. It was given to him by his teacher because, like an earthquake, sometimes his anger explodes uncontrolled and irrational, leaving obvious marks as it passes.
