In San Salvario, the
area in Turin with the largest number of immigrants, an unemployed photographer
adapts himself to working for them. They are eager to send their families and
friends at home pictures proving their success in Italy. After being fired from
the local newspaper and practically penniless, the protagonist gets more
sympathy from the San Salvario foreign people than from his fellow citizens,
who seem to be only interested in the profit they can make with multi-ethnic
contacts.
