Once upon a time, Juan Pérez, the poorest of the poor, reaches fame in a fluke accident in what seemed to be an attempt of suicide, to protest against the government and his social condition. The Ministry of Economy, surrounded by the scandal in which he is blamed by Pérez's decision, decides to reward him changing his life giving him a little house, a car and a job. But when other poor people (Pérez's close friends) find out about his reversal of fortune, decide to imitate him faking suicide attempts in different buildings in Mexico City. The Ministry of Economy, terrified by the glance of having a plague of beggars, decides to declare poverty a crime and hence finish for once and for all with all the poor in the country. Pérez ends up behind bars. Three years later, Pérez is released and goes back to his previous social condition, but this time, aware of having one day as a rich man is better than a life as poor, he will do anything to get out of his misery... And he will manage to do so!
这些是第一次世界大战的年代,斯特凡诺·佐尔齐医生在意大利北部一座大城市的免除诊所度过他的日子。在那里,他不仅照顾从前线屠杀中归来的士兵,还与那些希望被免除服役的人作斗争,这些人通过送他们去军事法庭来进行模拟和自残。斯特凡诺从未想过会遇到一个故意寻求病理的人,就像为了从更大的邪恶中拯救自己而购买救生艇一样。但现在他厌倦了这场使他成为检察官和宪兵的冲突。 朱利奥·法拉迪医生则在一栋偏僻建筑的公寓里工作。他是一个不安分的人,强烈反对战争,对那些在他的“私人战争”中的士兵怀有一种温柔而占有欲的爱。如果斯特凡诺确实尽了最大的努力来治疗士兵并让他们回去战斗,朱利奥则让他们生病,或者帮助他们严重自残,足以被免除服役。这两位医生是大学同学,也是好朋友,他们不仅在专业上暗自较劲,在感情上也是如此:他们都与安娜有联系,她是一位勇敢且性格坚强的护士。但在1918年那场可怕的“西班牙”流感大流行到来之际,爱情、政治和科学交织在一起,危险地纠缠在一起…

Enea, Aeneas, pursues the myth that his name bears. He does it to feel alive in a dead and decadent age. He does it in the company of Valentino, a newly christened aviator. Together with the drug dealing and the parties, the two boys share their youth. Lifelong friends, victims and perpetrators of a corrupt world, but moved by an incorruptible vitality. Beyond the boundaries of the rules, on the other side of morality, there’s an ocean of humanity and symbols to discover. Enea and Valentino will soar over it to the furthest extremes. But the drugs and the underworld are the invisible shadow of a story that speaks of something else: a melancholy father, a brother who has conflicts at school, a mother defeated by love and a beautiful girl, a happy ending and a happy death, a palm tree falling on a world made of glass. It is between the cracks of everyday life that Enea and Valentino’s adventure gradually finds reprieve. An adventure that may seem criminal to others, but which for them is, and will be first and foremost, an adventure of friendship and love.
