Exasperated by her husband Matteo, who lives with the nightmare of an imminent third world war, Virginia asks her brother Arturo for help. He decides to indulge the man's phobia by creating a fake newspaper announcing the outbreak of the conflict. The ploy works and Matteo seems to calm down, but the fear of the return of war reawakens fears and concerns in those around him that were thought to be buried.
