His wife Tiziana, a psychologist, is too neurotic, and his daughter Marta is going through typical adolescent difficulties and has grown withdrawn with family and school.
Gilberto attends a speed-dating event, meeting various strangers and making up for the occasion a fake story, claiming to be a widower.
Among various strange characters, he seems to encounter a charming girl, Stella, who also reciprocates his interest, but the occasion is cut short.
Tiziana discovers this way his lie and extra-conjugal adventure, and makes a big scene, no longer trusting her husband.
Although trying to support Gilberto also in creating some new relationships, she gets progressively attracted by the man, and eventually betrays with him Andrea.
