Ascanio Pacelli

Franco Califano, fallen and resurrected several times, begins his third life after the years of drugs and prison, of a youth lived to the last breath, appearing at Sanremo just to come in last in the rankings. But his third life as an artist has just begun, and it takes place during the sold-out concerts organized by his unconventional manager who, instead of choosing high-end venues, sets dates in dance halls and trattorias frequented by the people who love him. Around Franco, his lifelong friends, who have common names, far from show business, and who support and encourage him, look after him while the blows of age and a wild life begin to be felt, while his legend, destined to last, continues to grow.

Giulio is a widower, struggling to raise three sons, Marco, Rudi, and Mimmo, as best he can. He lives in Rome's working-class Garbatella neighborhood and runs a wine shop with his two brothers. Lucia, meanwhile, comes from Milan's middle-class background; she's divorced and trying to rebuild her life with her two daughters, Eva and Alice. The two meet by chance and recognize each other: they had a fling as teenagers, many years earlier. Yet first love is never forgotten, and so Giulio and Lucia find themselves together again. Their meeting, however, changes not only the lives of a man and a woman, but also those of two families as different as could be. Two families who find themselves living under the same roof without even having had the time to get to know each other well.
