After meeting by chance and impulsively marrying each other, Pietro and Giuliana now contemplate these decisions while preparing for a visit from his mother who is coming for lunch.
The couple couldn't be more different: he is a successful lawyer from a good family, and she is from a more modest background, but impetuous and spontaneous. He takes pride in this uncommon union. After a week of carefree happiness following the wedding, they begin to face the reality of living together, and the constraints they may face as a consequence. To help them through this thinking, everyone is willing to contribute their point of view, and in so doing reveal plenty about themselves also.
