Plot

Mario Cavallaro is 50 and lives in the same district of always in Milano and fears changes until arrives Oba, a Senegalese seller of socks so he decides to kidnap Oba and take him back to Senegal.

Mario Cavallaro wakes up every morning in the same way, in the same house, in the same district in the same city, Milan. He has just turned 50. Mario loves order, accuracy, timeliness, respect, the decoration, a low voice, staying every one to his place. His life is divided between the socks shop he inherited from his father, and a vegetable garden, unique passion known, put in feet on the balcony of her home. With his fear of change, imagine if his old bar is sold to an Egyptian and if in front of his shop arrives Oba, a Senegalese seller of socks. Enough is enough-and for Mario, the solution is simple and neutral at the same time: "Put things in place." So he decides to kidnap Oba and take him back home, from Milano to Senegal, one way. At the bottom, deliberation, if all they do the migration issue would be solved simply set the navigator. But then this paradoxical road trip becomes terribly more complicated, because Oba agrees to his "deportation" provided that Mario drive him with his sister Dalida. Will there be serious troubles or-or the beginning of a new unexpected harmony?
