When Alessandra and Emilio move to the city leaving their parents Carlo and Anna alone, life changes for everyone. In a few months the kids forget about their parents: a few phone calls, missed birthdays, missed funerals. But the last straw for these parents is knowing their kids won't be around for Christmas. The angry and desperate couple makes a last ditch effort: they pretend to have inherited six million euros from an old aunt. Money to buy affection.
