The film explores the lives of Alessandro, his friend Cléry and his grandmother, who all struggle with the passage of time and the choices they make. As Alessandro repeatedly undoes his successes and loses in the metaphorical game of life, the story highlights the consequences of wasted time and the ongoing struggle against personal failure.
