Pina
and Wicky live in Bagnacavallo, a little small town, and have just completed
high school. Finally they are allowed to go to Bologna for attending the
IX edition of the wellknown anti-prohibitionist rally "Street Rave
Parade".
They meet in front of a music store managed by Cricket,
a '70's survivor. Pina, once alone with Cricket, reveals to him that once
in Bologna they want to try some drugs like ecstasy and Cricket decides
to lecture Pina on the realm of illegal drugs.
It's
early afternoon when Pina arrives in Bologna at the gathering of the "Street
Rave Parade".
Here she meets with Bugs, a young stoner, who immediately
pass her a joint. Then she founds Wicky together with a strane guy who's
nick name is Chillum.

He
has plenty of different pills and some LSD bloaters known as Happycoffi.
While the party is kicking in, Pina is tempted and accepts an Happycoffi,
but she swallows only half of it.
Again she run into Bugs and the two of them go
take a break on a lawn, where after getting acquainted, she gives the
other half of the Happycoffi to Bugs.
Their meeting is interrupted by a loudspeaker voice
announcing the departure of the parade. The person making the public announcement
is Fairy Blues one of the chief organizer of the rally.
While Pina is roaming in the crowd, we see two weird
guys who are acting strangely. They are caught by Fairy Blues, who seems
to be really upset while he kicks them out. Pina starts experiencing the
effects of LSD while the parade is moving along Bologna's outer ring avenue.

While
the sun is going down, on the steps of a wellknown Bologna's high school,
a female street artist is reciting a delirious monologue.
Pina approaches the scene and the street performer involves her in an
insane dance performance together with Wicky, who is passing by.
Pina flips out completely in a psychedelic trip that brings her to un-describable
imaginaries places. Meanwhile, in the night, the parade goes on with its
path around the city.
Once the effect of the psychedelic drug has calmed down, Pina once again
finds Bugs right in the middle of the party. They decide to sit on the
curb while pretty stoned they check out the craziness surrounding them.
All the sudden Bugs asks her if she got more Happycoffi
for his friends. The answer is no, but Pina volunteers to ask Wicky to
contact Chillum for getting some drugs.
Once an appointment is set up via text messages the three
of them leave the parade.

Meanwhile
Cricket is napping in his apartment in Bagnacavallo.
He wakes up abruptly because of frightening insights.
Suddently he decides to eat up an entire plant of peyote, an hallucinogenic
succulent from Mexico, that he has been farming with extreme care for
the last 25 years.
Then he takes his car and leaves.

Pina,
Bugs and Wicky meet with Chillum and together they head up to the city
center.
In some small medieval alley we see the two weird
characters previously banned from the parade.
While they are cursing Fairy Blues, on a mirror
they are preparing big fat lines of an unidentified white powder.
Right when the two villains are sniffing drug, the
four young fellows arrive scaring them to death.
Past the initial shock they start negotiating for
buying some drugs and once a deal is sealed the two reprobates take off
to go get the drugs. Soon we find out that they intend to rip off the
youngsters.

Meanwhile
Cricket awesomely stoned arrives in Bologna experiencing a Mayan delirium
as inducted by the Mexican cactus.
The two scoundrels deliver "the stuff" and get
paid. Bugs immediately realizes that it is a fraud and jumps on to the
two weirdoes for getting his money back.
Against all the odds Cricket passes in front of the scuffling group. He
sees Pina, stops the car, and jumps out of the vehicle, but he is crushed
by devastating hallucinations.
Nonetheless he manages to reach the group only for getting punched in
face by Bugs who is really confused.
Cricket is collapsed on the floor and Pina overwhelmed by too many emotions
passes out in the arms of Bugs.
Pina experiences a terrible nightmare.
It's
sunrise, we are at the North Park, the final destination of "Street
Rave Parade". Pina is slowly regaining consciousness while being
attended by Fairy Blues. Then she sees that Bugs is there and Cricket
to even if a little in pain and quite beaten up, finally Wicky arrives
while the new day has arrived.
