The adventures and mis-adventures of a group of co-workers are shown by a camera on top of the coffee-machine in the relax area.

In late 19th-century Turin, young Lidia Poët fights against everything and everyone to get what is rightfully hers: to be enrolled in the official register of lawyers; a profession, at the time, reserved exclusively for men. Nevertheless, nothing could stop her dream of becoming the first female lawyer in Italy.

As the bubonic plague spreads through Italy, a group of nobles and servants retreats to a villa, where their lavish getaway quickly spirals into chaos.

Ulisse, Fulvio and Domenico decide to rent an apartment together in order to live with their modest work. However the three encounter any difficulties that have forced them to always be one step away from starvation. Ulisse has to maintain his wife and daughter selling recordings of important foreign singers, Fulvio has the task of reviewing silly scandals of celebrities instead of writing articles for major artists, while Domenico must keep his wife and children going to make love with old single pensioners.

Two very different men have something in common: the work. When their companies are bought by a bigger one, who will take the only place of boss of the new company?
