Gigi is a police officer in a countryside where nothing ever happens. One day however, a young girl throws herself under a train. This is not the first time. Facing this unexplainable suicide wave, Gigi starts investigating a strange world, between reality and fantasy, where a garden turns into a jungle and where an ever-smiling policeman keeps his heart open to love. After Summer of Giacomo, winner of the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival, Alessandro Comodin returns with a picaresque comic documentary.
