Synopsis:
It is the year 1936. Angelo, from a middle-class family, and Silvia, a girl of humble origins, organize their engagement party in the house at the estate near Porretto Terme. At the table Silvia's parents act with great impropriety, while Angel's parents turn out to be an unpleasantly hypocritical pair. The story was inspired by director Avati's parents and reflects social disintegration in Italy at the beginning of the 20th century.
