Running Time: 103 min
Year of production: 2023
Synopsis: Max and Anna Mancini have been married for 25 years and have two teenage children. Although they are twins, the two are polar opposites in terms of their characters: Tina is rebellious and unenthusiastic about studying; Nico is quiet, solitary and obsessed with video games. There is a constant war between the parents and their children, which reaches its climax on the twins’ 18th birthday, when the house party their parents allowed them to have degenerates into chaos. Max and Anna realize that they do not know anything about these two teenagers, they ask themselves where they went wrong and they think back nostalgically to the days when Tina and Nico were adorable little slips of things who only needed to be protected. But do they really remember what it was like? At the end of that disastrous evening, a second chance presents itself for Anna and Max to have a clearer vision of their relationship with their children and to try, where possible, not to repeat the same mistakes.
