Francesco (Francesco Nuti) has had better days (his lover just dumped him) but the 24 hours in this day are still much like those in any other -- he messes up more than once, and when not fouling up on his own, there is always an outside agent to do it for him. At work, he has a go-around with a machine in which the machine definitely seems to have the upper hand, and yet he still manages to cultivate his friendships with young and old -- "old" in this case being Magnifico (Massimo Sarchielli), someone willing to listen to his remembrances of his father, missing for several years now. At the end of the day, just as Francesco thinks he can settle down with his favorite prostitute, he has miscalculated again, and the night is not to be spent as he had blissfully hoped.
