Mattia is 17 years old. Raised in a post-industrial province and experiencing an identity crisis, he is the son of a trade unionist and a housewife. Hypersensitive and fragile, he expresses himself through hip-hop music. The death of his older brother begins a period of great changes. Mattia leaves school, starts working in a factory and, through a North African colleague, approaches Islam. Prey to a lacerating restlessness, Mattia takes the path of progressive isolation and radicalization.

Marta, who after her breakup, reacts by withdrawing into herself. When she loses her love she loses her appetite, too, but soon enough, she discovers that this has more to do with her own health than the pain of separation. Now, everything changes: the taste of food, the music, the desire, the certainty of the choices that were made.
