Giovanni Maimone is a 30 year old man from Sicily who returns to Catania, his hometown, after a bad experience with work in Milan. Giovanni, desperately seeking a job, ends up accepting a job proposal from Filippo, an old university friend, who works for “Non + soli”, a dating agency claiming to be able to find customers their “other half”. Filippo, in order to better serve the cause, has worked out the deceitful “Cyrano method”, which consists of creating a fictitious, tailor-made soul mate on the basis of the information on likes and needs given by the engaged-to-be clients. Unfortunately, Giovanni himself falls prey to one of the dating agency’s swindles…

For Ivo, Rosario and Peppe the days are spent between work, family problems and everyday life. The three lifelong friends play in dingy bars, partly to make ends meet and partly due to artistic ambitions. People don’t like their music but they continue undeterred. Then, suddenly, the news: the death of Paolo ‘e Fierro, local mafioso, well-known for his robberies (who has faked his death to make off with the money). Nothing strange so far. But one night at the cemetery, under a full moon, the three find themselves watching a macabre and mysterious scene: the mafia Boss, menacing and full of scars, gets two madmen to dig up the grave of Paolo ‘e Fierro and discovers what he feared… the peace in the sleepy little town is about to be shattered…

An “office moth” endures with quiet desperation another tedious afternoon. The door swings open. It’s his boss. Yelling at him. He should’ve finished the report by now. The phone rings. It’s his wife. Gnawing at him. He should’ve left the office by now: a tedious couple have invited themselves for dinner…

An “office moth” endures with quiet desperation another tedious afternoon. The door swings open. It’s his boss. Yelling at him. He should’ve finished the report by now. The phone rings. It’s his wife. Gnawing at him. He should’ve left the office by now: a tedious couple have invited themselves for dinner and he’s invited to buy it on his way back home. In the bank the cashier’s is screaming at him. He shouldn’t have stepped out of line. But our office moth has just reached the end of his line: his quiet desperation becomes the violent despair of a raging beast.

It’s something natural, that eyes and the feelings are the most important in a human life. However, sometimes the man becomes only a little part in the circle of destiny. What he experiences now, he will understand later. He doesn’t realize he helped another human being, but after one night his life has changed. And not only his.

The film, through exploring the pregnancy, allows all kinds of unrealistic situations. Pictures of a pregnant woman, in all kinds of helpless positions on the couch, always in the same corner of the room, are mixed with pictures of passages, daylight, darkness, shadows on the walls and the ceiling. Laying there helplessly in expectation, she is amused by the projections, which should show how time passes by very slowly. The movement of the pregnant woman is in animation, as in life, reduced. The choice of music and sounds in this film is essential, as it needs to contribute to the atmosphere of fatigue, helplessness, boredom and expectation.
