The dream house, that Marina and Vittorio, a petty bourgeois couple, have set their eyes on, turns out to be the biggest nightmare of their lives. After all, they get much more of what they bargained for in the shape of Eastern European neighbors whose life style clashes with their more sophisticated and refined taste.
Marina and Vittorio spent heavily to get that kind of life. Thus, a frustrating battle ensues between Marina and Vittorio and their mysterious neighbors, that in turn will bring out the couple's own paranoia and prejudice against the enemy from another culture they perceived the inhabitants of the house next door are.
Little did this couple realize the innocent pictures they took as a sort of warm up present to themselves will end up in the hands of their neighbors; soon the whole quiet development will see them in compromising positions. Marina and Vittorio get relentless punishment from the gate keeper, who is their worst gossip they could ask for.
The direction for this Italian comedy is by Federico Zampaglione, a first time director. He is man with little credit to his own in that country's cinema, but he shows that things will improve with experience. Best thing in the film is Claudia Gerini, seen as Marina and Luca Lionello as her husband Vittorio.
