2002 film by Luca Miniero, Paolo Genovese

Six high school friends in their 40s who haven't seen each other in nearly 20 years rekindle their younger selves after a court cancels their diploma, forcing them to repeat the final high school exam.

On Christmas Eve, three friends dressed as Santa Claus are arrested in what looks like an attempted burglary and charged with being the infamous "Santa Claus Gang". While trying to prove their innocence to the police, the trio explains why they found themselves in such a strange situation...

The Florio family where brothers Paolo and Ignazio are two small spice merchants who have escaped from a Calabria stuck in the past and in search of social redemption. In Sicily they invent a future, turning a small, run-down shop into a flourish business activity that young Vincenzo, with his revolutionary ideas, will transform into an economic empire. However, overwhelming Vincenzo's life and that of the entire family is the disruptive arrival of Giulia, a strong and intelligent woman who is in contrast with the rigid rules of the society of the time.

The story of a loving couple who struggles to keep its relationship alive against the inescapable passing of time, told in a nonlinear way over the course of ten years in their lives.

How much do we really know about ourselves when we make a decision? What if there are multiple versions of our I within us, each with something to say?

一个女孩前往警察局报案，声称她的梦被偷走了……

弗朗西斯是一位精神分析师，需要处理工作和家庭相交织的问题：他的三个女儿分别爱上了一个书中的一个小偷，一个女同性恋和一个50岁的老人。

Written by Genovese himself, together with Paolo Costella, Rolando Ravello and Isabella Aguilar, and based upon the director’s novel of the same name published by Einaudi, the story tells the tale of a man (Valerio Mastandrea), two women (Margherita Buy and Sara Serraiocco) and a boy (Gabriele Cristini) who are sure they’ve hit rock bottom. They meet a mysterious character (Toni Servillo) who offers to show them how the world would look without them over the course of one week and, in so doing, provides them with an opportunity to find the strength to start over and to fall in love with life again, the inestimable value of which is pushed to the fore.

男主角人到中年，事业有成却始终独身。圣诞来临，他决定雇演员扮演家人，与自己共度平安夜。一个完美家庭由此诞生，让人啼笑皆非的故事也就此展开。“家人”们因真实身份和角色间的冲突而经历种种变化，整部电影枝节不断，妙趣横生。威尼斯影帝塞吉·卡斯特里图（《消逝的星星》）和知名女星克劳迪娅·吉里妮继《别碰我》之后再度合作，为观众呈现意大利式的优雅与幽默。而对“家庭维系”和“演戏”之间关系的揭示也使得本片堪称一部“完美家庭生活指南”。
