In Roberta Torre's "true story of Romeo and Julet", Toni Giulietto is a vulnerable street singer and Little Tony-impersonator (who is himself an Italian Elvis-impersonator) who is constantly deceived and hoodwinked by almost everyone he knows. Romea is an attractive Nigerian immigrant who sells sex on the streets of Palermo to pay off her huge fee to the man who smuggled her in to the country. Various characters plot against each other and the plots, which draw in people from all the different social strata, spiral out of control as the tug-of-war between these different factions of Sicilian society is fought to the last.

Shot in his butcher shop by a rival clan during the Mafia wars of 1988, the Palermo Mobster Tano Guarrasi is mourned by his wife, four unmarried sisters and his daughter. But in truth, his death represents a kind of liberation for the women.

Michele and his best friend Giacomo, two marginalized high school students, find themselves to a high school house party. Here, Michele gives in to his desire to finally get out of his shell, relying on the most popular boy of the school, Riccardo, to help him. Riccardo will present Michele with several challenges, first to drug the entire party, then to betray his friend, exposing his homosexuality. All this to prove his worth and gain a mysterious "prize", which will mark the final step in his descent into oblivion.
