Antonio et Apu sont deux étrangers à New York. Le premier est italien, paie le loyer du grenier où il habite avec son salaire de cuistot.

Quand Antonio tente de conquérir Ellen, une jeune interprète, tandis qu'Apu accueille dans sa cave sordide la femme que sa famille lui a choisi en Inde, leurs histoires d'amour disent le choc des cultures et les difficultés sociales. Mais la chronique de Crialese, égrenant les anecdotes extravagantes, légères, n'a jamais aucune gravité.
