An elderly man stands near a swimming pool, looking at a photo of two teenagers, with both tenderness and melancholy. His memories arise as a mixture of reality and dreams. The two young boys, who had served together during the Second World War, meet in a hotel many years later. Their meeting leads to the revival of a love that never died and is now renewed.

Two men, both named Antonio Pisapia, see their lives go downhill in 1980s Naples. One is a crooner embroiled in a sex scandal; the other is a football player whose career is cut short by an injury.
