A director and his crew attempt to make the transition from the small to the big screen.

Film inspired by a true story that happened to the director, who shot it while he was under house arrest. Stefano Calvagna, after being the subject of an attempted murder on 17 February 2009 outside a theater in San Saba in Rome, was arrested by the police and taken to the Regina Coeli prison with various charges against him, including that of having organized the fake, attempted crime. A personal journey that pushes Calvagna to try to understand the reasons why he found himself in that uncomfortable situation.

One million Euro. The ransom that a masked man asks to free Lucia, Senator Silvestri’s young daughter. The case is followed by Captain Brunetti of the Special Operating Unit of the Carabinieri. However, once the ransom is paid, the kidnapper raises the stake and asks for ten million Euro for the other ten people he is detaining in an abandoned farmhouse: one million for every human life.
