A late middle aged Italian bachelor finds himself relucantly looking after his elderly mother and a number of other old women as a favour to his local shopkeeper and his accountant. It is the feast day of the 15th August and everyone else in the city has left for a day out. The women do not know one another but they bond as they start to share stories of their past. The bachelor, played by the director, is surprised to find himself enjoying their company. A charming Italian film about family life and the building of respect between different generations.
