In 1943, four Italian Alpini escape back to Italy after their company was decimated in Croatia by Yugoslav partisans. One of the four, Paolo, is seriously wounded and must undergo a leg amputation. The young man, embittered by his mutilation and the end of his soccer career, enlists in the fascist Brigate Nere. Once a member of the Brigate Nere, Paolo turns to evil and captures his former comrades, who must defeat him.

In a not so fictional Italy trying to solve the N.Ε.Ε.Τ. problem, the government decides to reintroduce compulsory conscription for one million young people under 30 who are not studying, working or looking for work, who will have only one month to find real employment and thus avoid the entire year of conscription. Facing this doom four guys try to cheat the system by growing hemp and meanwhile really discovering themselves.
