Mussolini's new town Sabaudia is filled with a decadent atmosphere, Ai Xiu (played by Elio Germano) and his brother Marico (played by Riccardo Scamarcio) lives together in the remaining brick buildings. Ichio is a misfit rebel who joins the neo-fascist MSI party despite the objections of his parents and brothers. And Marico is a left-winger. The film shows the social background of the small town at that time through the political conflicts between the two brothers, thereby reflecting the political and social status quo at the time. The film also reproduces the social trauma and life style of Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. The brother, who is like a dazzling star, shines on the left-wing stage with a charm that fascinates supporters; the male protagonist who originally escaped to study in a seminary gave up the opportunity to contact God because of the photos of porn stars brought by his brother with malicious intentions. The film profiles the history of Italy in the past two decades through the changes in relationships between brothers, lovers, and families. The script was written by the same person as "Bright Days", but the length is more streamlined, and the passion and twists are still the original intention of the book.
