In 1971, at a popular beach establishment near the Tuscan port of Livorno, yummy-mummy Anna (M. Ramazzotti) is roped into a beauty contest which she easily wins. Her jealous husband, Mario (S. Albelli), is enraged by the attention from assorted wolf-whistlers, while 8-year-old son Bruno (G. Bibbiani), is horrified by the spectacle of it all. His younger sister, Valeria (G. Burgalassi), is the only one enjoying the scene. Jump to the present, when Bruno (V. Mastandrea) gets an urgent visit from Valeria (C. Pandolfi) telling him their mother (S. Sandrelli) is sick. Bruno tries to wriggle out of going back to Livorno but finally agrees, the trip triggering bittersweet memories.
