Efisio is supposed to go Sardinia for killing a man whose remarks have besmirched the honour of another family. But before Efisio can comply, the targeted man gets murdered by another killer.

At the end of World War II, the promise of jobs and a chance to start a new life induced tens of thousands of young Italians to join the post-war immigration to Australia. In 1971, having lived about twenty-five years Down Under, one of those immigrants, middle-aged Amedeo Battipaglia, a lineman in the remote New South Wales settlement bearing the (fictional) name of Bun Bun Ga, several kilometers from the outback city of Broken Hill, is about to meet Carmela, his prospective bride from Rome, with whom he has been corresponding. Each of them misrepresented facts to the other — Carmela, a very attractive woman in her early thirties, is a semiliterate prostitute seeking an opportunity to get away from her abusive pimp, with the letters to Amedeo ghostwritten by her friend Rosalba, while Amedeo, feeling inadequate about his ordinary appearance, sent Carmela a photograph, taken about twenty years earlier, of himself between two Italian immigrant friends, Giuseppe Bartoni and Bampo. The arrow in the photo, however, is over Giuseppe because, when Amedeo visited his tall, handsome friend for advice, Giuseppe erased the arrow over Amedeo's head and pencilled it over his own head.

Un médecin soignera le blessé. Bientôt rétabli, le G. I. fait la fête, mais le seul Allemand du village, un caporal en faction, arrive à l'improviste chez l'oncle Tigna. En dépit des précautions prises par les villageois, les deux hommes finissent par se retrouver face-à-face. Totalement éméchés, les soldats ennemis fraternisent. Les habitants de la petite commune croient la guerre finie et la paix installée. Mais une patrouille allemande arrive juste avant la venue imminente des Américains et l'oncle Tigna sera abattu.
