26 year old Francesco's life in Taranto is always the same. He doesn't have a steady job and always hangs out with the same friends. On his 27th birthday he makes an incredible discovery: the candle on his cake, only if broken, is able to fulfil any of his wishes.

The wealthy businessman Vincenzo realizes that he is a father too absent, but also that his two sons and 1aughter are spoiled and unable to support themselves economically. So Vincenzo stages their fraudulent bankruptcy and runs with their children in Taranto, in his old house. The boys are struggling to settle, but Vincenzo is confident about them and hope that they will soon find a job in the city. Meanwhile, an impostor blackmailer, who wants to marry the daughter of Vincenzo, arrives in Puglia, to expose the scam.
