Three friends, Beppe, Umberto, and Gigi, await the arrival of young Toni to celebrate his newfound freedom. Umberto is a failed musician who ruined his father’s business and has already been through two separations. Gigi has just been disinherited by his aunt, is drunk, and is wearing one of his old wigs in protest. Beppe has a very intrusive mother, works as a plumber, and is said to have never had a girlfriend. Toni, Umberto’s son, is an overly clever boy who is in and out of prison for petty crimes. In other words: the most dysfunctional of companies, in an unchanging microcosm, in the strident splendor of a lake.
But something is about to happen. A cataclysm with shocking and hilarious consequences. After a night of heavy drinking in the village bar, the car they are driving home in hits something. Or rather, someone. Setting off a series of inexorable wrong choices, the four flee and take refuge in Umberto’s house. It will be a long night of twists and turns, paradoxical and ridiculous situations, encounters and clashes between the protagonists and other unlikely characters who populate that endless day. Until the most unimaginable of solutions arrives at the first light of dawn.
