Written by De Matteo with his partner Valentina Ferlan, the film focuses on twenty-four hours in the life of a bourgeois family in a wealthy town in northern Italy. By day, the ladies and their husbands show off their public virtue at coffee tables, but by night, the local town’s dark side comes to life in a succession of cruelty and violence. The seven deadly sins incarnated by the seven protagonists make themselves known almost innocently. No one can be accused of anything in particular even if, all together, they’re guilty of the worst of sins.

The cast includes Marco Giallini (seen this year in Io sono Tempesta [+see also:
