Based on the New York Times best selling novel of the same name, this turns an ordinary meal among family into a taut morality play as the limits of polite society are tested and two brothers discover just how little they know about each other.
Tommaso visits his family in Southern Italy, planning to announce his new plans to be a writer rather than take over the family's pasta-making business as well as tell his family that he's gay. But his older brother, Antonio, beats him to the punch.
