A strange and not entirely successful blend of documentary and fiction inspired by a meeting with Luciana De Leonie d'Asparedo, a Neapolitan astrologer who gives people life advice based on various astrological readings. A middle-aged man pressured by his mother to care for a grandchild; a woman trapped in her relationship; a single woman searching for joy in life; and a sister who wants to help her twin sister realize her "dream." The sessions are authentic, the aftermath staged. This results in some amusing images and moments, but the abrupt jump between different people makes the drama flat and frequently confusing.
