Federica, mantenuta di lusso, riunisce nella sua villa al mare, dopo quindici anni dalla licenza liceale, un folto gruppo di ex-compagni di scuola: Maria Rita, single e psicologa; Gloria, ragazza madre; Valeria, giornalista ; Gioia, sterile e un po' fuori di testa; Jolanda, petulante zitella; Margherita, insoddisfatta moglie di un gelosissimo carabiniere; Francesco, imbellito ma insoddisfatto; Fabris, il bello della classe, peggiorato fisicamente e persino calvo; Luca, ex-marito di Valeria, vignettista satirico; Bruno, cantante fallito; Attemi, videomane; Armando, eterno bambinone; Gino, magistrato finto paralitico; Mauro, squallido politicante; Ottavio, insopportabile sapientone; Finocchiaro, burino macellaio; Piero "il Patata", estroverso professore di liceo, afflitto da una moglie volgare ed ingenuamente innamorato della sua allieva Cristina. Dal pomeriggio all'alba successiva, l'incontro rivela le illusioni, le nevrosi ed i fallimenti di una generazione piena di problemi. Alla fine tutti ripartono ; anche Federica, che è stata mollata dall'amante, deve lasciare la villa. Decidono sconsolatamente che, probabilmente, non si rivedranno piè.
