Jana is a 46 year-old prostitute. Twelve students from the Bottega Finzioni writing school head to the ancient borough of Iano to meet her. All the participants are suddenly involved in a tale that sees its principle in the human body and money. Jana creates a comfortable environment that leads the students to remove all reticence and put themselves on stage.
