Caterina lascia la provincia con la famiglia e si trasferisce a Roma. Qui, si inserisce con disinvoltura nella vita cittadina, divisa fra l'amicizia con la figlia di un sottosegretario fascistoide e quella con la figlia di due "alternativi" sinistroidi. Virzì, dopo i tentennamenti e la mezza delusione di "My name is Tanino", torna con vigore al suo territorio prediletto, quello della commedia a sfondo sociale e politico.

Amaro e cinico come solo i maestri della commedia all'italiana sapevano in passato essere, Virzì si candida ad essere il cantore più credibile della crisi di una società che si morde incessantemente la coda, oltre che un ottimo direttore di attori.
