Vincenzo is an Italian engineer in a steel mill in bankruptcy, which is being acquired by a group of Chinese men. Vincenzo, not well understanding the real consequences of his work, is sent to
China because there must advertise and repair a piece of industrial machinery. Vincenzo gets help from a young translator of Chinese, and the two falls in love; but he, when he returns to
Italy, finds out that the factory is purchased, and that all Italian workers are laid off. So Vincenzo goes to China in an almost personal challenge to fix a potentially dangerous fault to the same machine now in China in spite of local people's indifference. == Cast ==
