SYNOPSIS

Lorella and Daniele host a sea-themed dinner with friends in their elegant Catania home. Upon their daughter Amanda's return, the conversation shifts to her. The parents notice Amanda posting a provocative video online and are taken aback, but they accept her explanation to avoid seeming out of touch like boomers. As overprotective and indulgent parents, they try to act like her friends. Amanda, feeling stifled by her parents' expectations and annoyed by their attempts to seem young, decides to use her charm to put them in their place. As a small act of revenge, she performs a seductive dance aimed at her father's friend Marco, exposing the adults' naivety and unsettling the evening.
