Synopsis

A middle-aged man named Victor many years ago, he was forced to move to Italy to avoid persecution. Life is well established abroad: there is money, work is disputed, pasta carbonara, pizza abounds in mounds of parmesan. Despite this, Victor decides to return to Russia. The man had a wife and three children at home, who had grown inexcusably over the past 25 years, and his father was seen only in photographs from his mother's mezzanine. Victor's plan is as reliable as a Swiss watch: to establish relations with his offspring, to communicate with his wife and eliminate the man who caused the poor man's life to go downhill a quarter of a century ago. The family is discouraged by the sudden appearance of the priest. Sharp-tongued children do not accept him, but they quickly realize that daddy is rich, and each of them is awkwardly balancing on the verge of financial bankruptcy.
