The short film takes place in Naples early one sunny afternoon. It is July 5, 1982, the city is tired and full of flags... in just a few hours the important soccer match Italy-Brazil will be played, which counts towards the world soccer championship in Spain. In the meantime, some children are playing ball in a park but, unfortunately, there is a small mishap during the game, not enough to disturb the big game that will be played that evening, with Italy's upset victory. How much can a weak, restless sigh count amongst the sacrosanct laughter?
