As Italy doesn’t offer any legal solution to hisproblem, Enea together with his friend Alexembarks upon a journey to Europe looking for a way to have sex in the open. The two firstdrive to an Austrian brothel, then walk into the office of a Swiss sex assistant, and finally decide to go to Hamburg and meet a group of German sex workers trained to deal with disabled clients.
