    • Synopsis
    • The life of the young gallery owner Celine Delacroix is turned upside down when she discovers that her boyfriend, Riccardo, has unexpectedly turned into an octopus.
      This event happens at the very most inconvenient moment; with the opening of the gallery at the doors and the wedding soon, Celine must defend herself from the vicious tongues ready to annihilate her existence.
      All his friends suddenly take the opportunity to manifest their real cowardly nature, accusing her of exploiting the grotesque event to get publicity. All of Turin becomes aware of the fact and the high society that had until now welcomed the young woman immediately shows a new face, never seen before by Celine. Despite the insults and accusations received, Celine continues to keep alive the relationship with Riccardo, trying to cope with aversions and keeping concentration to make the opening of the gallery a success.
      Between grotesque encounters and obscure characters, Celine will try to conduct her own relationship by accepting this metamorphosis, realizing soon that she will have to make a drastic decision.
