His father, a renowned cosmetic surgeon in Turin, dies suddenly. Luca has to return to Italy with his sister Isabella for the funeral. But the burial, this bereavement that should help him grow-up, becomes a complete nightmare: widows, secret mistresses, new brothers and sisters, enough debts to drive you crazy, and a new and different ”berlusconised” Italy without memory.
