The Attorre family lives in a Roman suburb: Luca (Adriano Giannini), an extremely free freelance journalist, “manufacturer” of colourful articles that he barely manages to place on newspapers, Susi (Micaela Ramazzotti), a dancer who teaches dance to overweight ladies, and Lucilla, their quiet six-year-old child, full of imagination who suffers from a severe form of asthma. On the set of a magnificent and incomprehensible Rome, arrives Mary Ann (Roisin O´ Donovan), an Irish student of history of art and au pair girl taking care for little Lucilla. A year in the life of the Attorre family will prove to be filled with legitimate and illicit ties, with friendship and love. A year during which Mary Ann will discover that good and evil have negotiable boundaries.
