Alberto, Francesco, and Mariella live in Carbonia. Their childhoods and youth were filmed on Super 8 and then stored away in an old box. Now, in a cinema, they will watch those images again after many years. Through three intertwining stories, the film explores the evolution of a country that experienced the rapid economic growth of the 1980s, feminist struggles, and the simple yet secure life of the old working class.
