Antonio and Paolo are a loving couple living a content life in vibrant Berlin. When they decide to tie the knot, they envision a heartfelt celebration in Antonio’s picturesque hometown in rural Italy—a quaint village filled with charm, tradition, and, as it turns out, a fair share of drama.
Antonio’s mother is thrilled about the nuptials and throws her full support behind the couple. However, the same can’t be said for his father, Roberto, who also happens to be the mayor of the town. A staunch traditionalist, Roberto struggles to reconcile his conservative beliefs with the idea of his son marrying another man. The tension mounts as Antonio tries to bridge the gap between his father’s expectations and his own happiness.
Paolo faces his own family struggles, as he hasn’t spoken to his deeply conservative mother in years. However, there’s a catch: Antonio insists that Paolo reconcile with her and invite her to the wedding before they can proceed. This challenge leads to a touching yet comedic journey as Paolo attempts to mend their relationship, setting the stage for moments of hilarity and heartfelt emotion.
Adding to the chaos are Antonio and Paolo’s quirky roommates, who bring their unique personalities and a healthy dose of absurdity to the mix. From mishaps with wedding planning to cultural clashes and unexpected revelations, the path to the altar is anything but smooth. But amidst the comedic chaos, the film weaves a story of unconditional love, acceptance, and the beauty of celebrating individuality.
