Simona is a single mother preparing to celebrate her son Filippo’s eighth birthday. What should be a simple children’s party turns into an occasion for very different parents to come face to face, amidst anxieties, prejudices, tensions and unspoken secrets. Over the course of the afternoon, social conventions give way to unpredictable situations, calling Simona’s certainties into question and highlighting, with a touch of irony, the contradictions of modern parenthood.
