The plot
Everyone loves Christmas. Everyone, except Gianna. It's not the nativity scene's fault, the lights, or the presents. It's just that Christmas, ever since she turned thirty, has been against her. Christmas judges her. Christmas asks her (and asks us): where are you in your life? Gianna honestly thought she was on the right track: three friends, a nursing job she enjoys. But Christmas doesn't care about your job. At Christmas, everything is about couples and family. And Gianna doesn't have a family of her own. So she makes a promise: she'll be accompanied to Christmas Eve dinner. But who will be with her? She has 24 days to find out. 24 days up and down the bridges of Chioggia, the streets of Venice, and one of the most iconic places in the Marche: the Castle of San Salvatore, amidst blind dates, colossal mistakes, nights of sex, and tears with her friends. 24 days to understand that it's not Christmas that's judging her, but herself. To discover that love is everywhere, you just have to open your eyes and accept life for what it is: a beautiful mess.
