Milan, 1990s. A city pulsating with life, contradictions and dreams. Omar, a shy boy with an enchanting smile and a slight stutter, works as a clerk in a trendy clothing store. He follows the trends of the moment: Moncler in winter, sandwiches and chips in fast food restaurants, and a weakness for video games in bars. Behind his trendy boy facade, however, hides a restless soul and a big problem: he has accumulated gambling debts and, in desperation, has turned to Don Capuozzo, the boss of the Milanese underworld, for a loan at a usurious rate. Lucia, on the other hand, is a young woman who divides her time between her career as an actress in provincial theaters and her work as a nude model for artists. Beautiful, unscrupulous but also secretly vulnerable, she dreams of making it as an actress but continually clashes with a reality that does not seem to give her what she deserves. She has learned to fend for herself, but her life takes an unexpected turn when, by chance, she enters the shop where Omar works. A spark immediately ignites between the two, but their love is anything but simple. Omar falls madly in love with Lucia, but his insecurity and problems with Don Capuozzo continually put him in difficulty. Lucia, attracted by Omar's genuine charm, finds herself entangled in an ambiguous flirt with Giulio, an architect with a melancholic smile and a self-confident air, who has secretly loved her since school. Giulio is the opposite of Omar: confident, successful, but unable to let go of the past. The three find themselves involved in a tangle of feelings, misunderstandings and overwhelming emotions. Between flashbacks that tell the past of Lucia and Giulio and flashforwards that give a glimpse of an uncertain future, a complicated love story unfolds, made even more tense by the presence of the underworld. Don Capuozzo, discovering Omar's relationship with Lucia, tries to use it as leverage to bend the boy to his will, forcing him to make desperate choices. Between hilarious misunderstandings, moments of pure sensuality and unexpected twists, Omar and Lucia try to find a balance. Will they be able to overcome their fears and free themselves from the shadows that surround them? Or will their love be destined to remain a dream in an unforgiving Milan? A novel that intertwines romance, irony and suspense, showing how even in the darkest moments there is always room to dream of love.
