Every family is unhappy in its own way, especially those who hate one another because they are forced to live in the same block of flats in a remote Calabrian village, a small cluster of houses situated atop a hill that everyone calls the Cozzo. And in every unhappy family, on closer inspection, there is always someone more unhappy than the rest, who thinks only of how to get rid of their enemies. Someone like Luisa Magno, a fifty-year-old who has always been at war with the world. Seemingly rebellious against traditional values, Luisa is torn between precarious jobs, the love for her children and granddaughter, and furious arguments with her mother, brother and sister-in-law Imma, the true obsession of her daily life. Whilst the two women battle it out with accusations and insults, three elderly aunts, a tragicomic chorus, desperately try to restore peace.
