In an upper-class neighborhood of Rome, Paolo is having a drink with his friends, as per usual. When he decides to go home, he is approached by two dodgy-looking guys. Gioacchino, one of the two, is immediately very aggressive towards Paolo. He has been looking for him for the last three months, and now he has finally found him.
