Igor is a musician, an honest but unlucky man who returned to Italy after being forced to leave his career in Berlin. Today, he works as a substitute teacher, with the dream of stability in which he himself believes little. Graziano is an outgoing but debt-ridden merchant, an opportunist, and a bit of a liar.
