Francesco, Nicolo's "eccentric" brother caused a town scandal when he revealed his homosexuality 40 years earlier. He has returned for the wedding-turned-funeral and the two polar opposites see each other for the first time in decades. Acting on the final wishes of their mother the conflicting brothers reluctantly embark on drive through the countryside to bury their mother in their hometown; forcing them to confront family secrets...

Inspired by Giancarlo Marinelli's novel "Amori in stazione", the film talks about the fate of marginalization in the decay of a small railway station, where prostitutes, homosexuals, pimps, conscripts, immigrants, gypsies and ordinary people meet. Characters out of time and space. Artificiality is their language to get out of the rawness of the landscape.
