The bitter and cynical story of a grandfather who lives with his son, his daughter-in-law, and his two grandchildren. He is just about useless for society and for his family. He is a bit of a burden, and has to be treated as such. Everything has been seen for democratically and perfectly organized, except that the grandfather decides to buck the system.

"Everyone goes through the time when his own parents stop being a guide or a point of reference and become 'old', burdened by their own problems and needs. These needs almost never coincide with our own. To tell a story like this is a deliberate examination of our conscience and way to face our own sense of guilt" (Marino Bronzino).
