Carlo works as an insurance salesman, while Giulia is a homemaker and aspiring actress. They have been married for over 20 years and their lives have become routine and unfulfilling. Their son Paolo is studying to be an accountant but feels lost and uninterested in his future, while Valentina, who dropped out of school, uses her youth and beauty to manipulate the men in her life.
Carlo's affair with a younger woman, who he meets through work, throws their already fragile family dynamic into chaos. Meanwhile, Giulia is cast in a local production of the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and becomes infatuated with the director. Valentina, desperate to make it as an actress, sleeps with a TV producer to land an audition.
As the family members pursue their own individual desires, they begin to realize the shortcomings of the lives they have settled for. They ultimately come to a crossroads, forcing them to choose between continuing down a familiar but unfulfilling path or taking a chance on their dreams.
