- What would happen in the lives of the people who live in the shadow of Vesuvius if a volcanic eruption was triggered? For Germano, it could be the right opportunity to get rid of a very jealous girlfriend.
- Naples told as a hotel in whose rooms, a sort of purgatory, seven stories show the contradictory souls of the city. In the 'great hotel of souls', a wedding lunch, a waitress, a frightened man who dialogues with himself, a lawyer who interrogates and instructs a witness for those who know what process, a father and a daughter, a couple of teenagers, the lunch of a funeral: those told in the film are all stories of fragmentary lives, like the city, with a door always open to the mystery, in a metaphysical and symbolic narrative.
- X, the feature character, slightly over 30, is an icon that represents all of us. He is one of the few people it Italy that has a chaotic job. All he thinks is integrated into a single question: "Is the truth really in the middle?" We are ask ourselves the same question that X asks every day, while we are surrounded by people who live extreme existences who seem happier than we are, but are locked up in social rules repressed by our most primal instincts. One of the many mid-winter nights that X is bound awake by his insomnia, he hears a prolonged scream of a woman on the street. It is Alessandra, a femme fatal, with Mediterranean features which make her even more fascinating. X thought it was a brief, short- lived encounter, but instead X finds himself waiting for the beautiful Alessandra in his house the next day for one more fleeting encounter. Alessandra doesn't stand him up, but perhaps something worse, asking him to meet her elsewhere, close to an address that X knows little about. It's outside the house of Marzi, a Jewish family in Portici, that the young woman will expose the nature of her intentions. Alessandra is in fact a skilled burglar who enters the homes of people illegally, not to steal, but instead obsessively searching for a treasure that she has been hunting for some time. X finds himself involved in Alessandra's mission, which marks a series of extraordinary and bizarre events over an eight month period. He is faced with tough encounters that defy the life he has now but proposes a new life worth living. X questions himself, is it correct to conquer the extremes or is it justifiable to stay in the middle?
- 11 September 2001. It's a day like any other in Naples but soon an event that is destined to remain ingrained forever in our collective unconscious will burst. Everyone is immersed in their daily chores until the distant tragedy slips into everyone life with different outcomes.
