Plot

Elena Leonardi lives apart from her husband, with her younger daughter, a niece, a housemaid also with a daughter of same age, and a senile uncle of the husband, in a rural farm house in the countryside. Her husband returns to propose a big renovation project to build a modern SPA, but he does not manage to find her support due to the severe economic situation of the farm, and a previous history of failed business ideas and debts. He dies in a car accident, partially caused by exasperation for not being taken seriously in the family, neither in business nor in the education of the daughters, one of which he has just found in bed with yet another fiance just brought home the day before. The grieving family decides to sell off the whole property, pay off the debts, and split: some would move to Rome, the senile uncle would be tricked to stay in a hospice, the older daughter would get married, the housemaid would finally follow her husband who had emigrated in Australia many years earlier. The plan eventually falls apart. In the end the family reunites in the farm, decides not to sell it off - although not knowing how to pay for its up-keeping and the debts. They decide to continue living together in the countryside.
