Synopsis:

Pietro roams third world countries in search of clients for all types of arms. Under pressure from the growing demands of his wife and offspring who are insatiable and covet luxuries and a thousand other expensive futilities, Pietro ventures into increasingly bigger business affairs, which are also increasingly less salubrious. Put in contact with the resistance in Angola by a journalist, he is then denounced by the same by means of a newspaper article. Returning from a traumatic adventure, he finds his family have taken him to court. Turning the tables, Pietro says he is willing to return to his old and boring job of selling hydraulic pumps but, frightened of losing everything they have gained, they implore him to return to his deplorable career.
