"It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven." Federica is rich, too rich, which imprisons her and stops her from dealing with daily life like a real adult. Her boyfriend is ready to start a family. Her former lover unexpectedly shows up out of nowhere. Her mother and siblings are disconnected from reality, and her father is dying. Overwhelmed by her inheritance, her tangled relationships with those around her and by the weight of a haunting guilt, Federica seeks comfort in the imaginary, wide-awake dreams where reality becomes perfect and wonderful. A delightful French comedy with a serious side that explores one person’s desire for a normal life. Written by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Noémie Lvovsky, and Agnes De Sacy. Produced by Paulo Branco. Cinematography: Jeanne Lapoirie. In French and Italian with subtitles.
