Every summer on Mondello beach in Palermo more than a thousand cottages are ready to receive just as many families who will come there for the summer. For them, the houses on that beach are ideal for reviving the memory of the social status that the crisis over the past decade has inevitably threatened. One family is willing to borrow so they can spend their summers at sea and look rich in the eyes of other people on the beach. The three women struggle to darken so they can still feel young and become real summer stars. A politician is looking for voters among the houses. Meanwhile, on the same beach, the bartender is just thinking about how to earn as much as possible so he can survive the winter. They are all looking forward to Ferragosto, as well as being at the center of the summer vanity fair and continuing to pretend that the economic crisis does not exist.
