Paolo (Sergio Castellitto) hasn't seen his actress girlfriend Francesca (Lina Sastri) in quite a while - not since she went on tour with a play. They broke up just as she was leaving on the tour, and he was expected to move out of their apartment while she was away. When the story opens, he is still in their apartment. Rather than moving out, he has been commiserating with his friends, Enrico (Nicola Pistola), an actor who has probably also been Francesca's boyfriend, and Giuliano (Roberto Citran). Giuliano is engaged to Sophie (Nancy Brilli), and is madly jealous of her. Why he consents to Paolo inviting Sophie along as his "date" for a dinner with his ex on the occasion of her return to Rome is difficult to understand. At any rate, she finally shows up with her boyfriend Piero (Pino Quartullo), and what began as an awkward reunion becomes a more passionate encounter. This film, which marks the directing debut of Ricky Tognazzi, the son of the famous director Ugo Tognazzi, is based on a popular play by Claudio Bigagli.
