Massimo Venier's movie is about one of the troubling subjects of our times: The Thousand Euro Generation. As the title suggests, the new Italian generation earn 1000 euros a month, regardless of their education or profession. The lives of the main characters, Matteo, who has just graduated and is a mathematical genius, and Francesco, a cinema and playstation buff become intertwined with those of Angelica and Beatrice.

Angela is a thirty-four year old Sicilian woman who talks about her unusual job. She’s a street artist who performs as a clown and as a fire dancer. For a hobby she collects vintage clothing.
