For five years she has led a life between the clinic where she works as a primary care physician and the house, on which there is a mortgage. For a long time the Christmas has become a big problem for the Rovati family: it is forbidden to celebrate it. Perhaps, however, there is an air of change in that house. For December 24th and 25th, Alice had the idea of registering her family for the reality show The Christmas Show.
That house with the lights off will finally light up, and the light will also peek into the heart of that family that has remained in the dark for too long. In those two days it comes alive with people. In fact, they participate in the reality show Nonna Rita (Ornella Muti) and the grumpy and intellectual grandfather Angelo (Tullio Solenghi), Oscars (Francesco Pannofino), Sofia’s boss on whom he has a crush and has an evil plan in store, and Pierre (Bova), the neighbor fascinating And mysteriousa writer closed in on himself who for the past five years has done nothing but observe the movements of Sofia.
