The film is set and was shot entirely on the Roman coastline. In the opening scene, Cesare crosses Piazza dei Ravennati and runs towards Vittorio who is eating an ice-cream, sitting on the balustrade of the Pontile della Vittoria in Ostia. The two spend much of their time in a bar, near the beach resorts of Ostia and in one scene, play football on a part of the beach of the former colonia marina Vittorio Emanuele III.
Locations also included Idroscalo di Fiumicino: near the Lighthouse are the bilancioni (fishing platforms) where Cesare and Vittorio prepare cocaine for sale and Fregene, where the two attempt, in vain, to get into a nightclub in an early scene (in the area outside the former-Gilda) and where Cesare later goes to live with Viviana in a derelict house.

In the 1990s, Vittorio and Cesare get by selling drugs and doing small jobs in the areas of Ostia and the Roman suburbs. In attempt to reform, Vittorio distances himself from Cesare who, in contrast, inexorably starts to sink. However, the bond that joins them is so strong that Vittorio will never truly abandon his friend.
