To begin with, the latter denies having a relationship with his old flame, before eventually confessing. The psychologist is actually treating Marco’s current wife, Marina ( Kasia Smutniak), who has serious psychological issues and is totally out of control, giving her doctor good reason to believe that Marco is in danger. Several years later, a psychologist (played by Nanni Moretti) walks into the medical practice where Marco works (whose adult incarnation borrows the features of Pierfrancesco Favino), asking him endless questions about he and Luisa (whose adult version is played by Bérénice Bejo). But that very night, a tragedy unfolds, sealing these various characters’ fates. The father and mother ( Sergio Albelli and Laura Morante) of the family are getting ready to go out for dinner with friends, while their three twenty-something children, Marco, Giacomo and Irene ( Francesco Centorame, Niccolò Profeti and Fotinì Peluso) are gearing up to do different things with their evening: Giacomo will collapse on the sofa, plying himself with alcohol, Marco will secretly meet the French girl whom he and his brother are mad for (Luisa, played by Elisa Fossati) and Irene, who’s struggling with her mental health, will listen to music with her headphones clamped over her ears. The film opens onto a summery picture of a beautiful villa by the sea where the Carrera family are holidaying.
