Piero is 26 years old, works in a butcher shop, lives with his mother and sister, and has been engaged to Tiziana for years. Something is wrong in his life, his mother senses it, and their relationship is strained. One day, however, Piero meets Mirco, and his ideas begin to clarify. Helped by Mirco, Piero recognizes his homosexuality and the right to live it openly. The reactions of his mother, sister, and girlfriend vary, but none is condemning.
