It is hard to believe, but even the worst criminal can have good and tender heart! Later on most people are sorry for their behaviour and would like to live their lives again in a fair way. Unfortunately, it is impossible – you can‘t bring back the time...

One of those people appears to be italian gangster Luigi Lombardi, who lived in America. While sitting in jail and waiting for death penalty, he suddenly realises, that he terribly wants to live. His lawyer suggest him a brilliant plan to save his life. The criminal, who is sentenced to death for a double murder, announces donating his heart! These news instantly fly around all America. The visitors are intruding to Luigi. They all want his heart, offer him money, pretty women, even love! Luigi, being very trustworthy and romantic, wants to help everyone. But can everything be bought like a fridge or a car? There must be something in the world, that you can‘t buy or sell. After all, is anyone from Luigi‘s visitors worth „cruel criminal‘s“ heart?

This two – part tragifarce reveals the degradation of modern society: true values elimination, massive psychosis (which is provoked by the properly released sensation) of people and bitterly funny manipulation of those, who lost any moral thrust.
