Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Stefano is now forty years old but has not yet found his purpose in life, remaining an eternal dreamer waiting for that decisive enlightenment. With his parents who have great plans for him, Stefano realizes that he lost most of his years without a real goal and thinks back to all those missed opportunities that could have led him to another path, between old loves and unexploited opportunities .
