Rome, 2020. The world is in lockdown. Paolo, a retired flight attendant, sixty years old, a black Labrador named Dory, finally has time to think. And what he thinks is simple: this world is disgusting.
For the dog mess left on the pavement. For the bottle tossed from a car window. For the people who look the other way.
Paolo decides that someone needs to do something. And that someone, unlikely as it seems, is him.
Armed with a plastic bag and a quiet rage, Paolo begins cleaning the alleys of his Trastevere. What starts as a solitary gesture becomes something larger — and more complicated — than he ever imagined.
An Italian story of neglect and redemption, of dogs and pavements, of punches taken and lessons learned. And of how much you can change with a plastic bag in your pocket.
