Plot


One day in Ostia, a charismatic watch seller manages to cheat the elderly Ines Vismara by selling her a faulty watch for 1,000 euros. This incident enrages Claudio, Ines' son, a fascist proprietor of a gun shop, and destabilizes Ines to the point that she is run over by a van while crossing the street.
Ines is saved and brought to the hospital by Dr. Pierpaolo Pavone, the head of an intellectual radical chic family. Pierpaolo's wife, Laura, is an uncompromising film director, and their 25-year-old son, Federico, is a scholar passionate about Friedrich Nietzsche. Federico becomes upset when his professor, Nicola, informs him that he cannot join him in exhuming Nietzsche's body. Pierpaolo is having an affair with Gaia, the young girlfriend of Bruno Parise, a colleague who enjoys playing pranks on him.
One day, Federico manages to purchase a bomb from Claudio to destroy Nietzsche's grave. Federico completes his mission despite being injured during the explosion. Flavio, Claudio's uncle, informs him that after being arrested, Federico will reveal where he acquired the bomb. Because Federico is the son of a medic and a director, he won't be sent to jail. However, if the police discover Claudio's guns, Claudio will surely be imprisoned. Consequently, Flavio orders Claudio to kill Federico.
When Claudio confronts Federico, he discovers that Federico is the son of Pierpaolo, the medic who saved his mother's life, and aborts the mission. When Flavio demands an explanation, Claudio brings his 12-year-old gun-loving son, Cesare, to the meeting. Cesare shoots and kills Flavio with a shotgun. Claudio is arrested but retains his parental rights.
A few months later, Bruno dies from brain cancer, which Pierpaolo had diagnosed. Gaia manages to find a new boyfriend in the very watch seller who triggered the entire series of events.
