In a Rome divided between the city center and the suburbs, rich and poor, famous and not, Alex, Gaia, and Marco are three friends in their early twenties who dream of escaping the future society has written for them. Street life, working at the market, poverty, small-time drug dealing, suburban tenements, and the dream of hip-hop are Alex's life until his dream comes true and he finds himself catapulted into the world of rap, playing his part and proving his worth. Managing his own destiny, however, isn't easy, and Alex makes many mistakes, leaving him alone, without a point of reference, and with fleeting success. He must then confront his demons, the harshness of the world, and his own confusion, to learn to love his anger and understand what he truly desires.
