Rome, present day. While the aftermath of a recent earthquake in central Italy carries a general feeling of dread, things are looking even worse for Mariagrazia and her children, Michele and Carla, who have been experiencing financial distress for a long time. Mariagrazia’s lover, the manager Leo, has been loaning her money for the past three years, allowing her to repay some debts and to maintain her comfortable lifestyle. Michele and his girlfriend Lisa, back from a trip abroad, sense that something is wrong with Leo’s apparent generosity, and uncover his long- thought-out scheme to take possession of the family penthouse. However, Mariagrazia is blinded by love and simply refuses to listen. Meanwhile, Carla, who has just come of age and is subjected to Leo’s morbid attentions, decides to shake the family from their long-standing indifference.
