Synopsis

They wanted to make something of themselves. Giulia a great actress, Carlo a novelist. They their children were born and year after year their dreams of glory gave way to quiet family life. Giulia became a high school teacher, Carlo an employee in a finance company.
And here they are now, twenty years older and two teenage kids. Valentina is seventeen and Paolo has nearly finished high school. The times have changed and so have the way they dream. For Valentina the idea of success is a well defined, concrete horizon. She wants to become a showgirl and is willing to do anything to work in television. Her lucid determination causes an inevitable crack in the fragile surface of family calm, bringing out again everyone's sedated dreams, uncertainties and disappointments.
Even though they live under the same roof, small individual quivers quickly turn into a feverish, blind reconquest of what had been sacrificed for the others. Age suddenly no longer means anything, nor does a sense of the ridiculous. Giulia throws herself headlong onto the stage of an off off off theatre, and ends up falling in love with her director. Carlo, during a pathetic high school reunion, meets his school-days girlfriend who rekindles love in him again and becomes his inspiring muse. Valentina ends up before the footlights of a quiz show, while her brother Paolo wanders in confusion through the seif-centredness of his family, searching for a seif that doesn't want to take shape. In the end the four of them all ask themselves the same question: is it possible to start everything all over together?
