Piero, openly gay and an activist for “alternative” rights, is running as the
centre-left candidate for mayor of the northern city of Udine. The current,
extremely right-wing mayor builds walls to keep drug dealers and foreigners
contained in their neighbourhoods. Adele is a family values moderate
(though divorced for being sterile) running as his vice-mayoral candidate.
Piero seems to falls in love and even sleeps with her, even though he’s in
a long-term relationship with Remo. What will the voters say, the political
opponents, his family? And what in the end will his heart say?
