Peppino, a retired hitman for the Camorra, has now fully passed on his job and know-how to his single son, Nino.

Giancarlo, a young Neapolitan animated by a great passion for journalism, is called as a correspondent in Torre Annunziata for the newspaper IL MATTINO. He begins to investigate the underworld and despite the difficulties he doesn't give up. His intuitions take him so far that the clan leader Gionta considers him too uncomfortable a character. The film reconstructs the last days of the life of the Neapolitan journalist Giancarlo Siani, killed by the Camorra in September 1985. It does so with the participation that a friend like Fiume had of Siani and with the courage to face a narrative that is absolutely different from the one of the debut film "Isolde".

Although this sounds like a weekend like many others, in the Prior house the atmosphere is rather tense because of some nervousness on the part of individual members of the family, especially the father, Peppino, who gets angry with anyone who happens to shoot: with their children, Juliana and Roberto, and his sister, aunt Meme. Meanwhile, his wife Rosa is dedicated to the preparation of the sauce, which she will serve for Sunday's lunch, to which she invited the neighbors, the accountant Ianniello and his wife.
In a landscape of fields and ruins, a group of figures move together, humble and mythical, poetic and popular. They are the characters of a Don Quixote reconstructed within multiple temporal dimensions and different imaginary horizons. Armed with a shield and spear as well as a profound knowledge of 20th-century literature, the Hidalgo of La Mancha comes back to life among pylons and wind turbines, unfinished buildings and archaic sculptures, accompanied by an ironic and sly Sancho Panza. Entrenched with courage in a crazy vision of the world and art, populated by angelic women and storytelling magicians, the knight errant comes to meet death and accept the inevitable mediocrity of reality.
