Despite the strong feelings they still have for each other, their relationship seems to have entered that dreaded middle-aged crisis stage as they both near the age of fifty. Into this already fraught and fragile situation bursts Alessandro’s best friend and former lover, Annamaria.

Malgré les sentiments profonds qu’ils ressentent l’un pour l’autre, leur relation semble avoir atteint la phase redoutable de la crise de la quarantaine, alors qu’ils approchent tous les deux de leurs cinquante ans. Dans cette situation déjà tendue et fragile, aboutit d’un coup la meilleur amie et ancienne flamme d’Alessandro, Annamaria. Elle arrive à l’improviste et leur demande de s’occuper de ses deux enfants pendant quelques jours car elle doit être admise à l’hôpital pour des mots de tête récurrents. Alessandro et Arturo ont soudainement l’esprit et l’horaire beaucoup plus remplis! Leurs vies glissent déjà dans un état de fluctuations, et maintenant cela? Quoi d’autre, après? Pourront-ils se débrouiller? Combien de temps cette « période parentale » durera encore? Et, quel sera le destin de leur chère amie, Annamaria? Dans les rebondissements de cette nouvelle vie, Alessandro et Arturo sont tous deux forcés de regarder les choses d’un nouvel œil. Tour à tour amusant, tendre et déterminé, The Goddess of Fortune présente des interprétations superbement dosées de Stefano Accorsi et d’Edoardo Leo, et un script intelligent, observateur, et parfois tranchant qui examine les intensités et les ironies des mœurs italiennes contemporaines.&nbsp;
