Synopsis
Frank, Cristian, and Eva, three derelict freaks: an elderly former stuntman and alcoholic, a mentally challenged young man who lives on handouts, deluding himself into thinking he's a street performer, and an elderly caregiver withering in the memory of the one, impossible love of her life. Each of them narrates, in a tale somewhere between the comical and the grotesque, at times picaresque, their bizarre existences filled with violence, loneliness, and desperation. They are three invisible people, poorly tolerated and inadequate, struggling to survive on the fringes of the Eternal City. Rough-and-tumble creatures who, together, even if only for the briefest of moments, attempt to realize the utopia of a full, complete, and happy existence.
