Paolo (PIF from In Guerra per Amore and La Mafia Uccide Solo l’estate) leads a quiet life in Palermo with his wife and two children, working as an engineer in the commercial port. To add pepper to his days are not the extramarital affairs that he gives himself from time to time, or the sessions at the bar with friends to cheer for the pink and black soccer team, but a few moments of pure joy, like riding a moped at full speed through an urban intersection at the exact moment when all the traffic lights are red. It is a pity that the time comes when Paolo “misses” the moment by a fraction of a second, and is hit in full by a truck finding himself catapulted into Heaven, in the large room used for sorting the souls that looks a lot like any large post office in any city of Italy. When his life expectancy is tabulated it becomes obvious that he was not meant to day and actually has another hour and thirty-two minutes of life left and he’s sent back, in the company of an angel, to complete his life cycle. From here will begin the revaluation of his entire life that will put him in front of his meanness and his shortcomings.
