An old couple invite all their children and grandchildren to their home in Sulmona, in Abruzzi, to celebrate the Christmas holidays. After a day spent at church and playing bingo at home, the grandmother asks her two daughters and two sons to decide amongst themselves which of them will take her and her husband to live with them, now that they are getting old.
