Titta Di Girolamo is a middle-aged loner who has spent the last eight years living in an upmarket hotel in Lugano, Switzerland. Every day he puts on his suit and wanders around, avoiding contact with people. In the morning, he solves the chess puzzles in the paper and in the evening he plays Grabber with a bankrupt aristocratic couple who are marooned in the hotel they used to own. Occasionally, he rings his family in Italy but his wife is always reluctant to talk, and his grown-up children despise him. He develops feelings for Sofia, the beautiful and stylish waitress at the bar of the hotel but he refuses to speak to her because, in his shyness, he fears that love would complicate his monotone but quiet life.

The film opens with a quote from Céline's Journey to the End of the Night: "To travel is very useful, it makes the imagination work, the rest is just delusion and pain. Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength."

After his 65th birthday party, he walks through the ruins and city streets, encountering the various characters, reflecting on his life, his first love, and sense of unfulfillment.

Il a habité nos imaginaires par la puissance de son empire médiatique, son ascension fulgurante et sa capacité à survivre aux revers politiques et aux déboires judiciaires. Il a incarné pendant vingt ans le laboratoire de l’Europe et le triomphe absolu du modèle libéral après la chute du communisme. Entre déclin et intimité impossible, Silvio Berlusconi incarne une époque qui se cherche, désespérée d’être vide.
