An eighteen-year-old boy is released from an institute for minors with no family support, and for the first time tastes the bittersweet flavor of freedom; an imprisoned mother longs to go back and start all over again. These are the characters taken from the real world and transferred into a film that is first of all a shadowing of human beings, of their hopes and little acts of cowardice. But it is also the story of a time of waiting, of a soul going around in circles, a coming of age in a desolate and oppressive, marginal context that becomes a character in its own right.

Jennifer is a melancholic and romantically unsatisfied transgender woman who lives in a small apartment in Naples. Meanwhile, a serial killer is targeting the trans residents of the neighborhood. Jennifer spends each night listening to the radio and waiting for a phone call or the return of Franco, an engineer who left Naples for work and who Jennifer previously had a relationshp with. The phones in the neighborhood are unreliable and lines are frequently crossed. Anna, another transgender woman who lives in the same building visits Jennifer's apartment one evening, believing that Jennifer is receiving her calls. The two strangers talk and wait for the phone to ring.

Although this sounds like a weekend like many others, in the Prior house the atmosphere is rather tense because of some nervousness on the part of individual members of the family, especially the father, Peppino, who gets angry with anyone who happens to shoot: with their children, Juliana and Roberto, and his sister, aunt Meme. Meanwhile, his wife Rosa is dedicated to the preparation of the sauce, which she will serve for Sunday's lunch, to which she invited the neighbors, the accountant Ianniello and his wife.
