A former shipyard worker, Antonio leads a quiet life: he plays bocce with friends, looks after his elderly mother, has an ex-wife with whom he is on excellent terms and is close with Emilia, his beloved daughter. When Emilia announces her engagement, Antonio is overjoyed; finally, he can make her dream come true by giving her the wedding they’ve always fantasized about and that he’s saved a lifetime for. But things are not so simple. His long-time regular bank seems to be hiding something: the staff is evasive, and the bank’s management team keeps changing. What is happening to Antonio’s savings? The task of paying for his daughter’s wedding will prove increasingly difficult, as Antonio discovers as he fights to make his – and Emilia’s – dream come true.
