Synopsis

A runaway coffin, a conservative wedding, an eccentric older man, two transsexuals, the police and an adorable puppy, collide on a humorous and heartwarming journey through the picturesque South of Italy.

The “unexpected” death of 103 year-old Rosa creates an awkward family reunion the evening before what was to be a lush and opulent wedding.

Rosa’s grand-daughter, Chiara Gammarota, is set to marry the son of a wealthy general, much to the excitement of her conservative father, Nicolo. Francesco, Nicolo’s “eccentric” brother caused a town scandal when he revealed his homosexuality 40 years earlier. He has returned for the wedding-turned-funeral and the two polar opposites see each other for the first time in decades.

Acting on the final wishes of their mother the conflicting brothers reluctantly embark on drive through the countryside to burry their mother in their hometown; forcing them to confront family secrets, learn to love one another again and discover the true meaning of “Family Values.” (Italian with English subtitles)

Customer Reviews

A Mother's work isn't finished after death!

Nick wrote on 01/29/2006:

I laughed until I was silly watching this film. An odd couple doesn't even begin to describe these two brothers, who have been seperated since "the incident". Not until the Mother's death, 40 years later, these brothers are reunited.

Though this is a comedy, there were moments of intense emotion.

Finding this was a jewel!

My only issue is that the subtitiles didn't seem to keep up with the very fast Italian in some of the scenes. A dubbed option is available to avoid this problem.

I laughed just as much watching both the subtitles and the English version back to back.
