Happy Family

Stageplay adaptation from Academy award-winning director, Gabriele Salvatores (Mediterraneo, Best Foreign Film 1992), about a writer holed up in Milan trying to punch out a story while being pestered by the characters that come to life around him.

"Recently dumped screenwriter Ezio (Fabio De Luigi, Many Kisses Later) is having trouble writing a story about two neurotic families whose paths cross when their teenage children, Filippo and Marta, decide to marry. Filippo's parents (played by scene-stealer Fabrizio Bentivoglio and the magnificent Margherita Buy) and Marta's parents (Diego Abatantuono and Carla Sinoris) arrange to have dinner to meet for the first time, with hilarious consequences. Ezio soon writes himself into his script, and into a love story, while the characters pester him about wanting bigger and better roles." (Italian Film Festival 2011)
