SYNOPSIS
Delia (Paola Cortellesi) is Ivano’s wife, the mother of three children. Wife, mother. These are the roles that define her and that is enough for her.

Ivano (Valerio Mastandrea) is the supreme head and master of the family, he works hard to bring a subsistence wage home and never misses an opportunity to underscore this fact, sometimes in belittling terms, other times directly with the lash.
