One winter day, Nena gathers her family in their seaside house to celebrate her birthday. Everyone is here: her husband Umberto, her children Vito and Caterina together with cousin Isabella, her daughter-in-law Adelina and former son-in-law Manfredi with his new fiancée Joana, her niece Alma, and the housekeeper Lucia with her daughter Grazia. And then there’s Paco, Alma’s peacock, who surprisingly falls in love with the dove featured in a painting that hangs in the living room.
