In the lower floors of a large hotel, in the kitchen area, a young waitress and a man met in a situation that breaks all certainties and identities. The story of Assunta, Lucia and her father: a father who believes he will meet his daughter after twenty years of absence and finds instead an unknown woman who has taken her identity. At the same time, in the hotel's upper floors, the owners of a soccer team mirror themselves in the cynicism and greed of their actions, while they try to understand and stem the storm unleashed by the scandal in which they are involved. The two stories which unfold side by side, will suddenly meet in a dramatic short circuit.
