Synopsis

Two brothers, who have opposite characters
and make opposite life choices: Massimo
(Alessandro Gassman) is a trendy lawyer and
Paolo (Luigi Lo Cascio) is a paediatrician, their
wives are constantly in conflict. They have been
meeting once a month for many years in a luxury
restaurant just to respect a tradition.
Their conversation is always inconsistent: salted
anchovies with ricotta and fried vegetables, the
most recent French film to come out, the fruity
scent of a wine, the latest corrupt politician.
But one evening a security camera films a
bravado of their respective children and the
family’s balance is utterly shattered.
How will the two men, two families so different,
face-up to a tragic event that involves them so
closely?
Freely inspired by the book “The dinner” by
Herman Koch, the film is provocative and deeply
painful, it violently breaks into the bourgeois
reality of family life unhinging the foundations.
