Plot summary
Titta Di Girolamo has lived in a hotel in Lugano for eight years. Each morning he puts on a suit; in the evening he plays cards with an aristocratic couple, now bankrupt, who are stuck in the hotel that was once theirs. He telephones his family in Italy, where his wife is reluctant to talk and his grown children despise him. Once a week he carries a suitcase to a Swiss bank and never explains what it is for. When his gregarious younger stepbrother arrives and urges him to engage with Sofia, who works at the hotel bar, Titta sets aside the habits of eight years and seeks her out.
