Synopsis

A gunshot, and Anna's (Angela Finocchiaro) worried husband screaming for her.2 months earlier, when Anna and Nunzio (Antonino Bruschetta) met at the reunion. Nunzio is an adventurer and claims that he has traveled all over the world. He says that he is a theatre artist. Nunzio asks for Anna's mother phone number as she was an actress too and Nunzio says that he might have a role for her. Nunzio tries to seduce Anna when he drops her off, claiming that her husband Carlo isn't the right guy for her. Nunzio says that Carlo was in the class senior to her and was considered to be an unpleasant man.However, Anna refuses to return his feelings and leaves him to return to her family.

A month later, Anna's mother Guiliana (Fioretta Mari) calls the family for a meeting. Anna's kids believes that their grandmother, who is 90 now, wants to discuss the future of her inheritance. Ale wants a few things fixed in her restaurant, while Emilio wants a new apartment as he is looking for a job. Carlo wouldn't mind buying a small boat for himself. Anna is disgusted by this talk and is adamant that the money belongs to Nonna to do as she sees fit.

Anna is shocked to learn that Nunzio is now her mom's lover, and they're going to be renovating his theater together. Anna immediately knows something is up because her mother has a huge inheritance of 6 million euros to her name, something that a person like Nunzio (with nothing) desperately needs. Nonna is offering to pay for the repairs on Nunzio's theatre.

Anna and Carlo find information about Nunzio's two ex-wives (both older to him and both rich), who died soon after getting married to the guy. However, Anna's mom refuses to believe a word she says because she just wants to have fun. She reveals that she's got wedding bands ready and that she and Nunzio are going to be married soon. Nonna plans living in Brazil after their wedding.

With no other choice, Anna decides she must murder Nunzio before he kills her mother. At first, she plans to do it by herself, but when her family asks about her plans, they all decide to join forces to save Nonna. They treat it like a family vacation, with Anna even saying that this is the first time they've done something together in a really long time. They cannot involve the police as no crime has been committed yet.

The family then flies down to Menorca for the wedding prep. It's actually Ale (Dharma Mangia Woods), the daughter, who comes up with a plan to poison Nunzio out there before the wedding. They like the idea because the plant used to extract the poison is found in that particular region. The poison Aconitine paralyzes the nervous system, causes a construction of the throat, leading to asphyxiation, followed by heart failure. The poison leaves no traces. It seems like quite a foolproof plan. The family will have 4 days alone with Nunzio at the villa before the guests arrive for the wedding.However, later, Anna decides it would make more sense to fake a suicide as Emilio was getting too nervous about the morality of the murder.

On the plane ride, Emilio (Claudio Colica), the son, suggests they call the suicide mission "Suntanning". The villa itself is very isolated but they have to keep in mind that there are cameras all over the place, and they can't make stupid decisions. The family is living on a fancy property that is cared for by a couple, Luis (Fernando Albizu) and Patricia (Irma Carolina Di Monte).The first attempt to kill Nunzio is when he takes the kids (both above 25) sightseeing, and there's a chance for Ale to push him off a high cliff into the sea. Emilio suggests she "sunbathes" when he sees the opportunity to push Nunzio off the cliff, but ultimately, Ale can't do it.The family then decides to revert to Ale's Aconitine plan. Ale and Emilio go to the forest to search for the plant. Emilio takes a nap, but right over the said plant and ends up with a huge lump on his shoulder. Ale abandons the search to rush Emilio to the hospital.

Then the family tells Nonna that Nunzio has actually been depressed for a really long time and even attempted suicide before, all while Carlo (Christian De Sica) and the kids attempt to get Nunzio to hold his breath in the pool for over a minute and a half (apparently to make it look like he's trying to kill himself).

On the other hand, Bojan (Darko Peric), Nunzio's blind best man, arrives, too, making it harder for the family to be alone with Nunzio.Ironically, Bojan ends up overhearing the family's plans and decides to use it as an opportunity to get some money for himself. Nobody is going to buy the depression story because Nunzio looks like a rather happy man-in fact, much happier than the whole family put together. He even makes lewd comments to Carlo about Ale, making him feel more disgusted by the man.

With Bojan going along with the plan, he suggests the perfect ploy for Nunzio's fake suicide. Put him in the garage with the exhaust in his mouth. Bojan settles for $400,000 in return for keeping his mouth shut about the whole thing. While he makes his deal with Anna, Carlo tries to get Nunzio to write a fake goodbye letter to Anna, claiming that he's not happy with her anymore. He makes sure the guy doesn't write the name Anna in the letter, saying he'll copy what he writes, but he needs his help. This would be Nunzio's suicide note.

Finally, when it comes time for the fake suicide, Nonna's bridesmaids show up, so Bojan takes the ladies out for a hens party while the family can kill Nunzio in the meantime. Eventually, the kids tell the parents that they're unable to go ahead with the plan. By this point, they've given Nunzio a sedative, and he's unconscious, so Carlo and Anna take the guy to the garage, only to learn that it's an electric car.

Carlo was worried that Anna was having an affair with Nunzio, but now it's finally revealed that it was Patricia who was sleeping with the playboy. The gunshot was Luis shooting Nunzio in the leg after he caught them together.

Nonna tells Anna that she's going to give her most of her money and go off to Brazil with Nunzio anyway. She says she wants to have some fun at her age, and he's the perfect guy to use as her slave. She'll pretend to have the money and then reveal she's got none when the time's right.

Finally, just like planned, Anna tries to join her family for a nice vacation, all this way away from home, only for them to bombard her with questions about the inheritance. Anna reveals Nonna's plans to go with Nunzio, but she never tells them about the money.

It seems like Anna's also tired of her family's obsession with the inheritance, while she simply wants to spend some quality time with them. Ultimately, Anna gets the money, and Nonna is safe.
