Alberto Saporito spent a very eventful night. His friend Aniello Amitrano was brutally killed and his body was hidden by his neighbors, the Cimmarutas. But he can't remember if it was just a dream or if he actually lived it. That's why he shows up early to the police to file a complaint. However, he doesn't know that his gesture will be the fuse that will cause chaos to explode. Just like his uncle Nicola does with his firecrackers. The uncle has in fact decided to stop talking, because the degradation in which humanity finds itself repels him, and is expressed only through his pyrotechnic language.
