Levante Quarini, Leonardo Pieraccioni, is a young accountant living a routine life with unhappy relationships with women. He shares a quiet, sunbaked home in Tuscany with his father Osvaldo, [Sergio Forconi], his brother Libero, [Massimo Ceccherini], and his lesbian sister Selvaggia, [Barbara Enrichi], in a remote residence surrounded by endless cornfields. Their only friend is his grandfather Gino, [Mario Monicelli], who communicates by shouting from his window. They’re far from major roads and the signs are scarce, but the locals know the dirt tracks well, giving their world a stubborn, almost timeless rhythm.
