There are so many people who are underappreciated even despite their obvious and indisputable talents. On the contrary people, who don’t seem to be special to any degree, get all the best things. That’s unfair, but it is the way life is – cruel and miserable. The movie tells us about a bright and talented university researcher who gets fired because of the university cuts. Pietro is desperate – he has to pay for his apartment, he needs money for his girlfriend and lots of other needs. He thinks it is humiliating to work at a Chinese restaurant taking into consideration his university degree. He comes up with another plan for himself and for his former university colleagues who are also trying to make their ends meet. All of them are on the margin despite their obvious talents and skills. In order to earn his living Pietro decides to produce drugs and recruits his former colleagues in order to fulfill his risky plan.
