Antonio Lombardi, a seventy-year-old pensioner and former seafarer, lives with his son, Luca, and his family, sharing a room with his nephew. After a morning spent at the post office to collect his pension, the old man returns home loaded with sweets and cigarettes which he has to hide to avoid being scolded by his parents. The son and daughter-in-law, without noticing him, discuss how his presence is a nuisance in the small apartment.
