- Synopsis
- Two brothers, who have opposite characters
  and make opposite life choices: Massimo
  (Alessandro Gassman) is a trendy lawyer and
  Paolo (Luigi Lo Cascio) is a paediatrician, their
  wives are constantly in conflict. They have been
  meeting once a month for many years in a luxury
  restaurant just to respect a tradition.
  Their conversation is always inconsistent: salted
  anchovies with ricotta and fried vegetables, the
  most recent French film to come out, the fruity
  scent of a wine, the latest corrupt politician.
  But one evening a security camera films a
  bravado of their respective children and the
  family’s balance is utterly shattered.
  How will the two men, two families so different,
  face-up to a tragic event that involves them so
  closely?
  Freely inspired by the book “The dinner” by
  Herman Koch, the film is provocative and deeply
  painful, it violently breaks into the bourgeois
  reality of family life unhinging the foundations.
