The story of a couple expecting their first child: Paolo, a gregarious real estate agent with a sense of humour, and beautiful Simona, a suburban woman who happens to have authored a spicy best seller. They're having a dinner with friends. There's Betta, Paolo's sister, a teacher with two kids, well-settled into domestic life, and Sandro, her husband, a sophisticated author and sometime university professor. Between the two couples, there is their childhood friend Claudio, eccentric musician trying to strike a balance in the sometimes edgy relationship between the parties. It could be just another dinner among old acquaintances who joke and make fun of each other, but an innocent question about the name of Paolo and Simona's son leads to an argument that ends up derailing the entire evening.
