Silvio Bertolini cannot collect his retirement payment because he has been declared dead. Caught up in the bureaucratic system, he will do everything possible to prove that he is alive. Along the way, he reconnects with his old friends, the life he left behind, and the one he could have had. All of this drives him to reconnect with his wife, his daughter, and his present, and to realize that he doesn’t need a piece of paper to feel alive.
