A charismatic boss shuts himself up in a pokey little niche. His disciples go visit him and hang on his every complaint. The boss realises that the experts are all the same, they reason with their arse and never raise their eyes; despite this he adores them and urges them to spend time with him. A woman regularly keeps their meeting place clean and the disciples dislike her as they hate cleanliness. The charismatic boss doesn’t meet the needs of his “flock” which is getting bigger and bigger, a crowd gathering beneath the niche: a revolt breaks out……

Costante dies and leaves his wife Torella his computer discovery. Torella entrusts the disk to her husband’s friend Gervasio, a lazy man scorned by his family. Twenty years later, Torella tries to get back the disk but Gervasio, who has become rich thanks to the discovery, agrees to go to court over it and comes away the winner. He therefore summons divine misfortune: he loses his third son, suffocated by wealth; kills his wife in a blind rage; and is executed by his first-born son who, after a violent panic attack and reckoning with his conscience, chooses life.
