After World War II, while history licks the wounds of two world wars, another one is unleashed in Salento, which has the inhabitants of two villages, Supersano and Ruffano, as armies. To make her burst desires for power, delusions of omnipotence, madness and… a football match. The rivalry between the Supersano and Ruffano football teams surrounds the rivalry between two men. Ernesto, agricultural entrepreneur and president of the Supersano and Alfredo football team, retired general of the fascist regime and president of Ruffano Calcio. In the background, the love between Giulio and Agnese and the friendship that unites them to another couple of young people, Giovanna and Antonio.
