Davide has come to Berlin – where he takes a job putting up posters – to escape the depressing state of his home country, Italy. Low-paid but carefree, he crosses paths with a joyful drifter. When the ill health of his mother confronts him with questions of life and death, he finds himself in a state of uncertainty and indecision. Should he keep postering forever or change his course now? Stay or move back? Order a marinara or a capricciosa?
