It is loosely based on the novel La gente che sta bene by Federico Baccomo.

One day, after he fails to close a deal, he is, in turn, unexpectedly fired by his law firm.

Anyway, luck seems to stay on his side, as, that same evening, at a party, he meets top lawyer Patrizio Azzesi, who offers him a possible job as a director of the new Italian branch of a large international law firm.

Out of desperation and seeking revenge on both his wife and Patrizio, he arranges a romantic week-end in the mountains with Morgana.

Despite feeling somewhat humiliated at being considered a second choice, Umberto accepts the offer and lies to Morgana about the reason why he quickly needs to go back to Milan.

The couple exchange their roles in the family: Carla resumes her own career as a lawyer, while Umberto takes care of the newborn and their children.
