The daughter pursues a dream and uses her body to achieve it, while the son just tries to make friends and hook up with the girl of his dreams.
Meanwhile their two kids are struggling with finding their own way. The arguments that ensue as each discovers what the other is up to present some classic screaming fits by Giulia that would have added a comical touch, if they had been a little less numerous. This viewer found the juxtaposition of the husband and wife seeking to fulfill their dreams separately to be moving and somewhat emotionally draining. In many ways, this is a sad tale of two people who love each other, but the pieces just don't seem to fit. The story is built on this foundation and presents to us two people who must seek validation outside of their relationship. Giulia, meanwhile, gave up her acting career because Carlos told her she didn't have the talent to continue. It remains unfinished because his wife, Giulia (Laura Morante) thinks it of no consequence. Carlos (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) has an unfinished book he has been writing for years.

They both cheat on each other, yet interpret the infidelity of the other as a deep personal slight.
Carlo's clingy wife doesn't know what she wants. I will never understand women who blurt "I never want to see you again" and still expect thier partner to stick around. Nobody's happy with who they have, but they all seem to want to salvage their old relationships just to spite each other. Watching these characters interact fills me with the feeling that I'm somehow missing something that they're all privy to. I saw a glimmer within it of something that I actually did want to see, but a glimmer was all it was: the play Giulia was in seemed intriguing.
