Summary
An utterly charming tale of good food, feisty ladies and unlikely friendships during a very Roman holiday. Broke, and armed with only a glass of wine and a wry sense of humor, middle-aged Gianni resides with his 93-year-old mother in their ancient apartment. The condo debts are mounting, but if Gianni looks after the building manager{u2019}s mother, all will be forgiven. Then the manager also shows up with an auntie, and then a doctor friend appears with his mother in tow... Can Gianni keep these lively mamas well fed and happy in these cramped quarters? Winner of four prizes at the **Venice Film Festival.** *"A simple and endlessly charming look at a weekend in the life of an uncomplicated middle-aged man living with his aging mama." - Linda Barnard, **Toronto Star***
