"Set in the Roman outskirts in the 1970s, the film portrays the life of a very large family: twenty-five people living in a shantytown. At the centre of the story is the patriarch Giacinto Mazzatella, a one-eyed despot originally from Puglia, who treats his family members with brutality and greed. Family life is marked by conflict, poverty and intrigue. The plot revolves around Mazzatella's obsession with one million lire (received from the insurance company as compensation for the loss of his eye), which he hides and guards with paranoid jealousy."
