Two young soldiers: Enzo in service to the military; Sasà, to the Mafia. Engaged to Maria, Enzo has taken a mortgage on a nice, new apartment. But while she and her mother are planning the wedding and shopping for furniture, he is killed in action in Afghanistan. The wedding turns into a funeral. Maria is devastated. The new flat is to be sold before it has even been occupied. When she arrives to clear out, she finds Sasà - a soldier of another kind. Wounded in a shootout between two rival gangs, he has taken refuge in the first empty flat he could find. Brought together by a twist of fate, she lets him stay and tends to his wounds. It somehow distracts her from her sorrow. As he recovers, the two draw closer, but face an uncertain future.
