Synopsis

The world is upside down, nothing is certain and everything is subject to the peculiar rules of a chaotic reality, to odd interhuman communication, to consumer lifestyle. Reality is becoming increasingly absurd and the people who try to live in it have it damn difficult. Everyone longs for happiness because they have no other choice. But the road to happiness is thorny. The protagonists of the story are all family members (father, mother, three daughters and a son), each of whose lives becomes tangled and twisted. The springboard is the opening celebration of the father’s promotion at a supermarket called Super. The father brings to the party a “little scarf of fortune”, which foretells what each of the family members will experience in the coming days or indicates how they should act. The determining catalysts of all that happens are the very prophecies from the little scarf of fortune.
