SYNOPSIS
Flavia is 50 years old, two failed marriages and a complicated relationship with a married man in her pasts, she is now single again after a very long time. Not an easy endeavor for any woman her age, and for her in particular, due to her pathological lack of confidence which causes her to constantly depend on the people around her: her two ex-husbands, her two sons, her tyrannical friends and her husbands’ new wives, seen as unreachable role models that she tries to emulate without success. With the help of a wise and seraphic psychoanalyst, Flavia struggles regaining independence and self-confidence, tackling numerous driving tests and awkward approaches to auto-eroticism.
