A charismatic boss shuts himself up in a pokey little niche. His disciples go visit him and hang on his every complaint. The boss realises that the experts are all the same, they reason with their arse and never raise their eyes; despite this he adores them and urges them to spend time with him. A woman regularly keeps their meeting place clean and the disciples dislike her as they hate cleanliness.

A train travels across Italy toward Rome. On board is a professor who daydreams a conversation with a love that never was, a family of Albanian refugees who switch trains and steal a ticket, three brash Scottish soccer fans en route to a match, and a complaining widow traveling to a memorial service for her late husband who's accompanied by a community-service volunteer who's assisting her. Interactions among these Europeans turn on class and nationalism, courtesy and rudeness, and opportunities for kindness.
