Emilia Romagna Castles

A blackboard on stage, a school chair, a woman dressed in the 1950s.

The story is that of Luisa, a young girl full of dreams, in a world as old as a faded billboard. Luisa then becomes the teacher of an unusual course in behaviour and good manners: hers is an intensive (for women only) marriage preparation seminar entitled 'Si può far'.

The course is aimed at educating young would-be brides: what are the 10 rules to follow in order to become the perfect wife?

The lecturer shows them to the audience as in a real lesson in which each rule is shown and explained in its entirety, in a crescendo of irony, surreality and playfulness; but, as in life, sometimes the thin line between play and reality gets blurred, blurred, faded.
What is hidden behind the mask of this apparently perfect woman? Does she really believe in the rules she imparts with such dedication, or is she simply a victim of a system that accepts her only because she is subservient to stereotypes and pounds of mascara? And can this woman, who came out of an era that no longer seems to belong to us, speak to women of all times?
