Giacomo (Fabio De Luigi) is the great heir to an industrial fortune, but he prefers to devote his mind to thoughts and fantasies. A mysterious man will change Giacomo's life, telling him that he has identified the reincarnation of his father, who died when he was a little boy. The reincarnation is Mario Pitagora (Elio Germano), a man whose only interest is money. Their meeting will change their lives.
