CGiii Comment

Sweet...and, beautifully filmed.

Perhaps, a little too generous with the reaction shots...and the 'revelation' could be seen a mile off.

Having said that, there are some great lines and the central performances are excellent.

Less editing!

The(ir) Blurb...

Set in a small town in the Italian countryside, a young and handsome Alfredo returns home after a long time along with his partner Mattia, an African American man. After meeting Alfredo's grandmother, the sweet and crazy Donna Maria, the pair go to see Alfredo's father, Sor Pucci. Alfredo must break the news to his old-fashioned father about his secret. Little did he know his secret will churn into a series of unexpected comic events. This tongue-in-cheek comedy runs parallels alongside on the choices we make.
