A group of friends are plagued by recurring nightmares set in the Middle Ages. In an attempt to bring peace to their nights, they decide to undergo a psychic seance. They soon find themselves in an unlikely Middle Ages, battling a swarm of accidentally released killer horseflies. To defeat the pesky insects, they must find and smoke the dried leaves of a magical herb.

Freak and Jajà, like Vladimir and Estragon, are in a no man’s land, with no date or time. Earth is no longer inhabited by humans but a few strange survivors who appear from time to time. The two protagonists, strangers to each other, meet at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere.

There are moments in life when, suddenly, everything stops. For Michelangelo, a young aspiring writer about to publish his first book, everything comes to a halt with the death of his father, forcing him to abandon his ambitions and provide for his family. Antonio, a successful manager accustomed to a perfect life, finds himself imprisoned by his wife's inability to overcome the death of their daughter. Giulia, on the other hand, is a young woman who has just given birth, whose husband had an accident shortly before their daughter's birth and is in a coma, in the same hospital where their daughter was born. Giulia lives there day and night, waiting for her husband to wake up: only then will she name her daughter. The interrupted lives of these three characters intertwine, waiting to find the turning point, the path that will lead them home.
