Storyline

A group of eight patients, each obsessed with their own personal neurosis, receive therapy from an elderly psychoanalyst. When the lady suddenly dies in the middle of a session, they find themselves orphaned. What can they do? While Alfredo, an obese guy with religious obsessions, claims he is healed, the seven others decide to complete their group therapy. They try hard to find a new shrink but to no avail. So why not do the job themselves? Which is easier said than done.

User Reviews

The fault is Verdone's.

I wonder why Verdone persists in doing direction and acting together. I've seen many movies by him and by now I get the impression that the subjects he's dealing with are repetitive. Verdone should find a different approach rather than the "dramatic/comical" one otherwise he will only repeat endlessly. Another thing I absolutely don't understand... why do Italian directors continue to insert completely unknown foreign actors or, better, actresses (sic!) like Raquel Sueiro in this case?? Verdone speaks of "debut", but honestly, what kind of debut is this`? Dramatic, deep, scenic, psychologic or just "body debut", since Sueiro's part is that of being "the sexy woman"... Honestly Carlo: Why do you follow in the footsteps of those "Vacanze 200x"... movies?

5 out of 10. Buy and the others save a lot!
