The title, clearly ironic and provocative, introduces the plot of the day of Emma (Isabella Ferrari), a single mother of two children. The film is divisive because it tackles a complicated topic directly. There are scenes in which the film becomes a psychological introspection and the observer finds himself immersed in the deviant minds of the characters. The film gets where it wants to go. The direction of the film is easily understood from the first minutes, despite this, the viewer hopes all the time that the drama will not arrive. Instead he arrives and does it in the cruelest way, without leaving the slightest discount. Isabella Ferrari's performance is exceptional, she constantly seems lost in the plot as if she isn't entirely aware of what's happening. Ozpetek goes hard and direct in this film. It is a film of condemnation, incredibly timely, of protest against the chauvinist society and servant of power.
