Trama: Michele Grassadonia è un fervente ecologista. Molto tempo fa ha lasciato Palermo per trasferirsi a Siena, che lui considera, tra tutte, la città ideale. Da quasi un anno sta portando avanti un esperimento nel suo appartamento: riuscire a vivere in piena autosufficienza, senza dover ricorrere all'acqua corrente o all'energia elettrica. In una notte di pioggia, Michele rimane coinvolto in una serie di accadimenti dai contorni confusi e misteriosi. Da questo momento in poi, la sua esperienza felice di integrazione gioiosa nella città ideale comincerà a vacillare.
