Minnesota Premiere
Two very different families spend their summer holidays by the Italian seaside: the aristocratic Castelvecchio family is open-minded and eccentric, whereas The Petagna’s are close-knit, from a humbler background and united around ?rm family values.
Only the heads of families, Tony (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) and Carlo (Alessandro Gassmann) know what has brought them together. When an unexpected engagement is announced, the lives of all get disrupted and especially those of Penelope (Jasmine Trinca) and Sandro (Filippo Scicchitano), their respective firstborn children. What started as an ordinary summer, now becomes an emotional, chaotic and amusing journey.
