A Doctor in the Family is a television series that has been broadcast on RAI 1 since 1998. Ciccio Martini, a young boy, introduces us to the members of his big family.

The Martini family is getting in the car to leave for their new home in Poggio Fiorito, a residential area outside of Rome. There are some last minute items to pack as well.

Grandpa, Lele and his three kids arrive at their new house. Everyone is excited about it--everyone, that is, except Maria who would have preferred to have stayed in Rome near her friends.

The move has been difficult and Lele’s parents come by, unwillingly, to lend a hand.

Lele isn't used to the commute and arrives late at the hospital, finding a room full of patients and an angry boss.

Lele rearranges his schedule to go home and have lunch with his kids, but they're with the in-laws. Instead, he meets his new next door neighbor.

The Martini family hasn't completely settled into the new house yet, so everyone is on edge, and just getting through breakfast and out the door is a huge challenge.

At the hospital, Lele gets a visit from Sandra, a teenager he's known since she was a little girl. She's now gotten herself in big trouble and is looking for advice.

Lele starts worrying about his own daughter, and when, that same evening, she asks him to go to a birthday party he has a hard time being objective.

Maria goes to see her aunt for some heart to heart talking between women. And Martini talks to his colleagues about Sandra's pregnancy.

Lele visits Sandra's parents to tell them about her pregnancy. He has trouble getting the words out, but in the end, that's a good thing.

During Grandpa's afternoon nap, Maria goes out without telling anybody. So now everyone is worried sick that something has happened to her.

It's one in the morning, and Grandma Enrica is freaking out because Maria is still missing. They should call the police but don't have a phone. Things are bad. But then...

Lele and Alice talk about what to do about Maria, and after school, Maria has an unpleasant experience at the local pizza place, but then things change.

Lele and Sandra talk about the pregnancy and about her future. Lele and Maria have a heart to heart talk about what's been happening in the family.
