Plot

The film depicts a bourgeois Italian family seen through the eyes of Carlo, an old retired professor who is the last patriarch of his family. The memoirs of Carlo characterize the entire film, from the time of the Belle Époque until the 1980s, through two world wars, the economic boom, love, friendship, and all the events which constitute human life.

The film unfolds all around the apartment bought by the grandfather of Carlo. It shows the family, its dynastic succession, and its many traditions.
