Storyline

Antonio is a young waiter in a huge restaurant. After being fired on the spot, he steals his wages from the till, is beaten up by the bouncers, and dumped by the roadside. The next morning, he wakes up in a tumbledown beach restaurant, where he is taken on as a waiter. A complex web of passion, lies and intrigue develops among various characters: Enzo the owner; Armida the cook; Marco the dishwasher; Enzo's niece Silvia; and the beautiful, restless Francesca, a sensual ex-dance hall singer.
