Story: The Japanese saying “Once a mother, always a mother” resonates throughout the Bonelli family. Aldo, the only child of Piero and Anna, is 35 and shows no signs of leaving his parents’ home. Despite having financial independence, a successful career as a university professor, and numerous job offers abroad, Aldo enjoys a comfortable life at home. However, his parents eventually reach a breaking point, realizing they can no longer tolerate his presence. This sparks a cold war in the household as Piero and Anna attempt to push their son towards independence, even employing various strategies to encourage him to move out.
