Plot
In two different eras, the film represents the feminine universe, as seen through the eyes of four women. Sofia, Beatrice, Claudia, and Gabriella, bourgeois housewives in Rome in 1966, meet each Thursday evening to play cards and talk about their problems and fears. Thirty years later, in 1996, their daughters (Rossana, Sara, Giulia, Cecilia) reunite after the death of Beatrice, who committed suicide as she claimed to be alone. Despite the modernity and emancipation, the fears and anguishes of the women aren't much different than 30 years prior.
