In the bustling and desolate neighborhood of Rome, Vittorio, a young prostitute, lives day by day, sliding through life between vice and despair. His world revolves around his carefree lifestyle and a group of friends who are just as much losers as he is, but who share the same inertia of rejection toward routine. When he falls hopelessly in love with a beautiful woman named Maddalena, his life begins to unravel. This forces him to confront his emotions and his own inability to escape the misery in which he feels trapped.
Vittorio's search for love and stability becomes a bittersweet journey, filled with shattered dreams and questionable decisions. As his relationship with Maddalena grows more intense, his life of delinquency and exploitation becomes unsustainable. The painful narrative reveals a raw portrait of marginality and the struggle against a seemingly inexorable fate.
With its innovative visual style and a realistic approach that marked a personal stamp on Italian cinema, the director immerses the viewer in the psyche of a protagonist who, far from being a conventional hero, defies expectations. Through his struggles and efforts to escape a vicious cycle, the story addresses universal themes of love, suffering, and the quest for redemption that often seems out of reach. An emotional journey that will leave you moved.
