Overview

Writer-director Gianni Di Gregorio stars as an amiably bibulous loafer who reluctantly agrees to look after his friends’ elderly mothers during the holidays in the hope of diminishing the debts he owes. Little of dramatic note actually happens, but the naturalistic performances are so persuasive and the humour so gentle that the film exerts considerably charm from start to finish
