Plot

Willy Signori is a journalist in Milan, bored with his work, involved in a romantic relationship that has no more romance left, only routine, and a paraplegic brother under his care, constantly asking to "move to Africa where the warm climate will help my poor legs". One night, Willy is involved in a car crash, accidentally killing the other car's driver. The following day Lucia, the victim's girlfriends, angrily confronts Willy in his office, accusing him of being a murderer. Willy keeps his cool and tries to financially and morally support Lucia to recover from her shock, as he feels guilty because she is pregnant from the dead boyfriend.

After a quarrel, and after breaking up from his relationship, Willy leaves for Africa with his brother for holiday, and there, we see Lucia giving birth in an African clinic, to a baby who most likely will know Willy as his father.
