Rome with its palaces of power is far removed from that of everyday people, whose life is made of precarious work and work-related deaths. During a protest in Piazza dei Cinquecento in front of Palazzo Massimo, Pepe and Toni clash and become acquaintances. The former is a dock worker from Marghera who recently saw a fellow worker die on the job, and the latter is a precarious worker waiting for supply work whose mother is ill.
The plan they concoct together with some unlikely companions is diabolical: to kidnap a minister and hold him ransom. It’s just a shame that they kidnap the wrong person. Once they’ve made their move there’s no turning back, and deeming Rome not safe, they seek refuge in Valle d’Aosta and Cervinia, a quiet and isolated place in the low season where they find allies in the local community.
To deliver the ransom money, the wife of the kidnapped undersecretary is made to take the metro in Turin.

Two precarious workers, a left-wing militant, a man who has just got out of prison and a journalist improvise the kidnapping of a minister to hold him ransom, but end up kidnapping the wrong person.
