[edit] Plot
"Giulia (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and Carlo (Stefano Accorsi) have been happy together for three years but Giulia's announcement that she is pregnant sends him into a secret panic. Terrified at his imminent entry into the adult world of irreversible responsibilities, Carlo finds himself tempted by a bewitching 18 year old girl, Francesca, whom he meets by chance at a wedding. Doesn't he deserve one last youthful crazy fling before the impending prison of parenthood?
But a short-term fling comes with serious consequences that threaten to damage his three-year relationship with Giulia, who is expecting a baby girl. At the same time, it also dashes the idealistic hopes of Francesca, who dreams of a beautiful future with him. After a raucous quarrel in the night, Carlo goes to Francesca's house, where they have sex. However, the morning after, reality sinks on Carlo and the enormity of what he had done surfaces. But when a partner cheats, it is not easy to forgive, and even harder to trust again.
After being brought to reason by her mother, Giulia forgives Carlo in the end. The end of the film shows Carlo and Giulia with their now two-year-old daughter, enjoying family life at home. Carlo relishes fatherhood and the new life he now leads. He has left his teen-age behind for good and discovers that, sometimes, changes are rewarding in the long run. "
