Plot

It is the last day of school in a run-down technical institute in the Roman suburbs before the summer break. Mr. Vivaldi, an Italian literature teacher, bitterly remembers what happened during the school year and wonders what will happen to those young students that he cared for as children from their first day of school: they've paid him off in a somewhat offensive way, given that, as the teacher has noted, today's youth have changed, they are drifters and without a sense of civic duty.
