When Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel their legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately...murder. In 1978, Patrizia aggressively pursues Maurizio Gucci despite warnings of her ulterior motives. They marry and Maurizio takes a job at her father's trucking company. Patrizia manipulates Maurizio to gain a controlling interest in Gucci and clashes with his family members. She forms alliances and plots against them, leading to arrests, grand betrayals, and eventually, the murder of Maurizio. The remaining Gucci family members face their own fates as the fashion house is fully acquired by Investcorp and managed successfully into the present.
A divorced Swiss couple must come to terms with their daughter's life-threatening illness. He, a scientist, snatches his daughter from the examining table at the clinic and takes her away as if to kidnap her from the disease. His ex-wife, an actress, takes to bed weeping uncontrollably when she learns of her daughter's tumor. The girl's step-mother, an Asian-American physician, is clinical in her response, outlining a treatment regimen of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. It is left to the girl herself, ten-year-old Violette, to be calm, reassuring, philosophical, and even metaphysical as she faces death.
