ITALIAN DESCRIPTION:
Anni Sessanta. Ogni giovedì pomeriggio quattro amiche si riuniscono per giocare a carte e si raccontano amori, tradimenti, teorizzando la maternità, la vita e i problemi del matrimonio... Trent'anni dopo: le figlie si ritrovano al funerale di una delle madri. Sono le stesse bambine che, durante le partite a carte, giocavano nella stanza accanto. Come le loro madri, si confidano sogni e paure, il tempo che passa, il rapporto con il lavoro, i loro amori e il desiderio di maternità...
ENGISH DESCRIPTION:
Two eras and two ways being women. The sixties: Every Thursday a game of card between four women to stay together and talk about their loves and betrayals, about life and the problems of marriage. They argue, laugh and talk with a hint of cynicism. Thirty years later: Their daughters, who played in the room next to where their mothers played, meet at the funeral of one of the mothers. Just as their mothers, they share the dreams and fears, the time which passes, their relations at work, the desire for motherhood. After decades and in spite of the carrier and the emancipation, being a woman today means the same as what it meant before?
