Alfonso, an unemployed Neapolitan scientist, is a naive man who has made an enemy of the Camorra. He hides out in an old building where a Sri Lankan community has settled. That's when Gayan, a broke ex-cricket champion, appears. Attracted by the Italian paradise described to him by his cousin, he will soon become disillusioned. Both men make friends and although in very uncomfortable situations, they hope to find a way out by joining forces.
