In this offbeat love story, Saverio has been living alone for some time in the quite large apartment his parents left to him in their will. Being that Saverio is a dentist, when Alia, a girl who has moved to Italy from Russia, shows up on his threshold with a missing tooth and bearing numerous bruises from a beating, it's only second nature for him to spend the next few hours making a replacement tooth for her. For a while, the optimistic young woman stays in his spacious apartment, as he fall more and more deeply in love with her. One day she leaves quietly and disappears. Devastated, Saverio begins searching for her. His searches put him into contact with the head of a local gang led by Mauro, who is also in love with the girl and is also searching for her.
