Plot

Federica is a 35 years old a kept woman. She decides to organize a reunion with her high school classmates, 15 years after graduation.

They gather at her villa and begin to recall cheerfully the years at school, and their life afterward. However, for many of them this has been disappointing, and for many the regrets and dissatisfaction quickly emerge and turn the encounter into a melancholic or even tragic experience. Some attempt to forcefully recreate the atmosphere of their youth, a failed singer tries to exploit the occasion to make some money, another one who had successfully pursued a career in politics will end up raping the young lover of one of his old classmates. In the morning, the guests leave and return to their life, although for some the event has been a turning point.
