The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia than parody status would imply. In the context of this film, "Allegro non Troppo" means Not So Fast!, an interjection meaning "slow down" or "think before you act" and refers to the film's pessimistic view of Western progress (as opposed to the optimism of Disney's original).

Piero and Elisabetta loved each other very much, despite the opposition of her parents, and had three children with whom they formed a seemingly indissoluble unit. But when the eldest, Flavio, loses his life in an accident, the family falls apart: Elisabetta and Piero glare at each other and exchange ferocious jokes, unable to overcome that tragic event and not blame each other. It is the two remaining children, Dennis and Sara, who convince them to celebrate Christmas together in Cortina d'Ampezzo, the town where their maternal grandparents own a luxurious chalet. The two children have a plan, which will however be abruptly interrupted by an unexpected event. All the family dynamics will be called into question, and will keep everyone in suspense for a long night of waiting and reflections on the past.
