The Hogar is a paradoxical world in which the precocious maternity of a group of teens lives together with the vow of chastity made by the nuns who welcomed them, between rigid rules and Christian love. Sister Paola has just arrived in Buenos Aires from Italy to finish her novitiate and take her final vows at the Hogar, an Italian religious centre for teen mums in Buenos. Lu and Fati are 17-year-olds abruptly converted into mothers. Three different women who will influence each other's lives and their relationship with motherhood.

Grosseto, late 2000s. Edoardo, Iacopo e Michele are the three young members of a punk band from Grosseto, a small and quiet town in the Tuscan Maremma. Tired of performing in cheap contexts, they finally have the opportunity to open for one of their favourite popular hardcore American band: the Defense. The day has come and the three are loading the last instruments on the car when they receive a call from the organisers: the concert fell through. Edo, Iac and Miche don’t give up. If they can’t play with the Defense in Bologna, it means the Defense will come to Grosseto. Nevertheless, the small-town reality and the grotesque mentality of its inhabitants make things difficult, if not impossible. The arrival of the band is inexorably sneaking up and, besides the doubtful turnout of the endeavour, their personal lives are on shaky ground as well. The risk is to lose something precious and irreplaceable that they have always been taking for granted: their strong and unique friendship.
