At work, Paolo finds himself doing what he used to do in his school days. At home, however, as he and Maura paint the walls of their new home, he sees a Spider convertible in a newspaper ad for the movie, La dolce vita and starts fantasizing.

Paolo and Maura take their little girl to her grandmother's so they can spend some time together. Maura wants to go to the movies, but Paolo has a surprise for her, and they speed off in the Spider.

After the enthusiasm of the morning when they arrived, Paolo can't sleep because he thinks he's a failure and wishes he could change his life. Maura tries to comfort him, but she also has some news.

Paolo enjoys composing songs with his friend, Fabrizio, to distract himself, while Maura, pregnant with their second child, puts little Elisabetta to bed. When the baby is born, at the hospital, friends joke about the heir and Paolo's steady job.

Paolo skips work because he wants to dedicate himself to what he really likes to do. When Faber invites him to perform, at first Maura seems annoyed but in the end she supports him.

Paolo, after a show, receives a proposal from an impresario to perform in his theater. Later, at the company Christmas dinner, he is given the task of organizing the exchanging of gifts, but he uses the occasion to tell those gathered what he really thinks.

After the company Christmas dinner is over, Paolo returns to Maura, who seems almost relieved that it went badly. For Christmas Eve dinner, the two join the children at the grandparents' house, but an inevitable conversation awaits Paolo.
