Ernesto, a stern conservative teacher with traditional methods, and Filippo, his cheerful liberal counterpart who's always online, reunite at the same school after years apart due to an unresolved argument.

As they struggle with these new challenges, their past resurfaces, leading to unexpected confrontations.
