Veteran Italian filmmaker Pupi Avati (A Heart Elsewhere) returns with a gentle, comedic drama set in post-war Italy. Giordano (Antonio Albanese) gets the chance to relive his adolescent infatuation with his sister-in-law Lilliana (Opera singer Katia Ricciarelli) when she returns to the family estate in the South as a war-widow. Pressured by the poverty of the immediate post-war period and her sly son Nino (Neri Marcorè) who harbours expensive filmmaking dreams, she accepts his proposal to see if there is any love left in her for Giordano.

"Fans of Pupi Avati will take a shine to "The Second Wedding Night." Those who find his pics on the sentimental side, with cutesy situations grafted onto characters rather than the roles themselves dictating events, will find nothing in his 31st feature to change their mind."

New Zealand Herald"Set in southern Italy two years after World War Two, Pupi Avati's atmospheric "The Second Wedding Night" is a likeable fable about kindness and bravery that just misses the magical touch that would have made it special."
