This drama by director Marco Tullio Giordana takes place in a small town in Sicily, where activist Peppino Impastato attempts to turn public opinion about the mafia.

The story of a family of pasta makers in the Salento area and in particular two brothers and their relationship with their father and sister. international title:

Number two: was I right in assuming that the way that the main hub of the subject matter (a son's coming-out to his wealthy and successful family) was played out was out of step and out of date by a couple of decades? Certainly it is compared to English (and even! North American) films of the same ilk. Peculiar is that the announcement is just a few minutes ahead of the second son, who was initially planning to announce his gayness at that same family event, but did not know of the plans of his brother. The second son refrains from same announcement, fearing that his father won't survive a double "disaster". He tries to take up his role as second-in-line son to become the future company owner. But his heart is with being a writer, and not in leading a pasta factory. As usual in his movies, photography, sets and music are highly original and perfectly fitted to the story: if it were a silent movie it would be beautiful just to look at; if it were a radio program it would be delightful just to listen to. This is the first of his movies to integrate a significant amount of comedy into his usually serious but highly imaginative dramas, and he does it expertly; I laughed out loud almost as often as I wept with delight.

This is an endearing, sympathetic movie about an in itself serious topic: the question if you should come-out as gay to your extremely conservative and homophobic parents. Here it's dealt with in a very intelligent way and with much humor, resulting in a rewarding mixture of laughs and tears. Maybe both parents stay a bit too much a caricature, especially the father, but the frustrations of main character Tomasso as the closeted son is very realistically pictured by actor Riccardo Scamarcio.
