Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi

Piero and Elisabetta loved each other very much, despite the opposition of her parents, and had three children with whom they formed a seemingly indissoluble unit. But when the eldest, Flavio, loses his life in an accident, the family falls apart: Elisabetta and Piero glare at each other and exchange ferocious jokes, unable to overcome that tragic event and not blame each other. It is the two remaining children, Dennis and Sara, who convince them to celebrate Christmas together in Cortina d'Ampezzo, the town where their maternal grandparents own a luxurious chalet. The two children have a plan, which will however be abruptly interrupted by an unexpected event. All the family dynamics will be called into question, and will keep everyone in suspense for a long night of waiting and reflections on the past.

80s, Milan, Italy. The disappearance of the great groups from the 70s and the need of music different from the Sanremo commercial songs led to the creation of a new record company: "Vox Pop". One of the first recordings from the label was "Blues get off my shoulder” from Carnival of Fools, a band which revolved around the figure of Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi, already known in the underground scene.
