According to Luciana de Leoni d’Asparedo, a Naples-based astrology expert, the position of the stars at a person’s birth determines their destiny. This leads her to advise her clients to visit specific places on their birthday to align with the ideal stellar constellations and give their lives a new direction. The film follows the experiences of five clients over seven years of consultations with this expert, blending humor and empathy.
