Claudio is the legendary captain of Carrarese Calcio, a leading force, both in football and family life. Everything seems to be going great: the team reaches promotion to Serie B ( higher league), and, together with his wife, he finally opens the restaurant he has always wanted to in order to stabilize the family's economic future.

Claudio will be dragged into a vortex of events undermining his certainties and moral rigor.
