Carlobianchi and Doriano, two broke fifty-somethings, wander around at night in their car trailing from bar to bar, obsessed with the idea of one last drink, when they cross paths with Giulio, an architecture student who is as shy as he is naive. Between confidences and hangovers, this unexpected encounter with these two unlikely mentors will shake up Giulio’s view of the world, of love... and his future.
