Sinopsis:

A young medical doctor, Kawaku, goes to Italy to look for his brother Job, nicknamed "Pummaro'" (in the southern Italian dialect "tomato") who has been working for years in the Caserta area but has suddenly disappeared. As Kawaku travels around the country he encounters both hostility and friendship, intolerance and solidarity. The adventure ends in Frankfurt, where Kawaku finds his brother dead. Job has died during a brawl when he intervened to put a stop to the fight. The young doctor is joined in Frankfurt by Nanou, Pummaro's girlfriend, whom he has already met in Naples at the beginning of his journey. Nanou is pregnant. They decide to leave for Canada with the money from the insurance policy on Pummaro's life.
