San Gimignano, Tuscany, at the end of the 1970s. The end of the ideals of the 1970s seen in a small microcosm, with the wider audience of young people in crisis in mind. Giovanni, a magistrate in crisis, falls in love with Eugenia, a theatrical animator for children; one day the two meet Enzo, an agrarian expert with plans for a farming commune, who also falls in love with the girl. The three try to have a difficult love affair as a threesome, but everything fails and, so, Eugenia and Enzo, tired of the difficulties they encountered in entering the working world, decide to leave for Africa. Giovanni accompanies them to the plane and, as he sees them off, he is bitten by Eugenia's rabid dog: feeling lonely by now, he lets himself die little by little.
