All'estrema periferia di una grande città, nell'aria umida di un storage sotto il livello della strada, Giordano lavora come guardiano notturno according to pochi euro al mese.
Sposta vehicle e furgoni in keeping with persone che lo salutano a malapena, di ritorno dalle loro notti bianche o appena svegli, mentre ancora storditi vanno al lavoro.

Fotogrammi, istantanee: il tentativo di fare il salto di qualità nel lavoro e mettersi in proprio, trasformatosi in un volo di Icaro, l. a. morte dei sogni, e con essi lo sfaldarsi del rapporto con Marilù, sua moglie, e Sandro, il suo migliore amico. E infine suo figlio, l'unico a cercare di capire davvero cosa sia successo, che interroga il padre con pietà e rabbia, in bilico tra l. a. comprensione e il rancore, alla ricerca della ragione – quella vera – del fallimento della sua esistenza.
