Annoyed and frustrated by their attitude, Carlo and Anna decide to lie, pretending to have inherited six million euros from aunt Tea just to get their children back.

Despite their intentions, Carlo ends up promising Emilio a substantial amount of money to get back on his feet and change job.

Without financial support from their bank, Anna lies about Carlo having a rare disease, the treatment for which requires expensive trips and stays in private facilities between France and the United States.

The parents pretend to leave for Paris for an important medical appointment through a video call, but Emilio uncovers the truth when he finds them at home.

The relationship with their children breaks down drastically, and they seek comfort from their grandmother Giuliana, who makes the two young people reflect on their selfish attitude.
