In Italy, the passage from the Lira to the Euro was very traumatic for everyone. Most especially for Gianni, known as "Millelire". Gianni spent his life asking people for banknotes of one thousand Lire, in order to buy cigarettes or a sandwich. That is actually a request of love, especially when his family decides to kick him out of the house, an event which starts a life as a homeless. To him, money has always been the only way to relate to the world.
