Four children by three former wives, six lawyers, dozens of lovers including the Widow, the Starlet, Zita and especially the Wandered Jewess, a debt of four thousand euro and eight days to return it to a group of ‘impatient’ Romanians. So it begins the story of Julian discouragement, the last descendant of a large middle-class family, unable to stay out of trouble. The chronicle of these eight days is a trip through Tuscany, Rome and Milan in search of money; a Way of the Cross of betrayal, where friends are no longer young, no longer carefree and have no more desire to help him, closed in the cocoon of their home lives. And then the memories of his grandfather businessman standing every day at four in the morning; the grandfather who at eight had already visited the first of his mistresses, and who decides to be buried in his pajamas because he was born poor, and because he knows how uncomfortable is to sleep fully clothed.
