Ernesto (Marco Giallini) and Filippo (Alessandro Gassmann) have two personalities antipodes and a single point in common: they are both secondary school teachers.

It makes its austerity a point of honor and has a life completely outside the network. It is probably the last living holder of a Nokia '95.

Once they were "best friends" but a deep confrontation and ever solved kept them away. Until the day in which find themselves fatally to teach in the same class.

This trip will change them deeply, forcing them to find a balance, more and more rare and delicate today, between the global consciousness of those who rely on the network and the total indifference of those who stubbornly resist to the bitter end the digital age.
