Rome. An Italian middle-class family, during lunch, talks about the problems that afflict our nation. And Lili, an energetic and intelligent teenager, harshly criticizes her father’s generation for leaving them a world worse than the one they had, made up of a rather difficult present, of total lack of faith in the future, dangerously rampant populism and racism, an uncertain political guide, an idea of Europe far from the initial one. Rather known issues. But not everything is as it seems.
