7:00pm An Almost Ordinary Summer

Two very different Italian families are thrown together when two patriarchs announce - much to the shock of their grown children - that they are in love and getting married.

Cultures and personalities clash in this romantic comedy as one modern and dysfunctional family gets to know the passionate and traditional family of their father’s new love. It all helps of course that this all takes place in a spectacular cliffside villa in coastal Gaeta. With the wedding only weeks away, you can bet on chaos, catastrophe and hijinks being the guest of honour at this summer that is anything but ordinary.

Director: Simone Godano, Italy, 2019, 100 mins, Italian with English subtitles, M 15+
