Gianni e le donne (The Salt of Life)
Since his retirement, Gianni has been tolerating his extravagant and egocentric family who pile on him, requests and orders. In silent resignation he accepts the new reality…until his old friends introduce him to the unspoken benefits of retired life in the form of the lovers they all have. To achieve success takes Gianni some time, though.
Perfetti sconosciuti (Perfect Strangers)
Disaster comes from nowhere. A group of old friends think they know each other more than well. In an innocent game they decide to share all messages, phone calls, tweets and posts that they receive during a dinner. And that one evening together reveals their true personalities.
