This is the story of writer Alberto's long journey to Stockholm, where the Nobel Prize awaits him, in a blazing Maserati. He is accompanied by Alessandro, a young journalist whose job is to interview him along the way. Personal and generational dynamics arise between the two men, leading to misunderstandings, jealousies, quarrels, separations, love quarrels and so on, but also to growth for both of them. A story full of twists and turns and always played on the edge of irony.
