Valentino leads a perfectly organized life alongside his wife Elena and her teenage daughter, Carolina. However, his sense of balance is thrown into disarray by the arrival of Salvo, Elena’s ex-husband and Carolina’s father – an impulsive, disorganized, and unpredictable man. After a fight with his girlfriend Tania, Salvo asks to stay for just one night, but ends up moving in, triggering a series of misunderstandings, lies, and hilarious situations. The arrival of Francesca, his new girlfriend, further complicates matters, putting the already fragile family balance to the test.
