Synopsis

A runaway coffin, a conservative wedding, an eccentric older man, two transsexuals, the police, and an adorable puppy come together in a humorous and heartwarming journey through the picturesque South of Italy. The "unexpected" death of 103-year-old Rosa leads to an awkward family reunion the evening before what was to be a lavish and opulent wedding. Rosa's granddaughter, Chiara Gammarota, is set to marry the son of a wealthy general, to the delight of her conservative father, Nicolo. Francesco, Nicolo's "eccentric" brother, caused a town scandal 40 years earlier when he revealed his homosexuality. He has returned for the wedding-turned-funeral, and the two polar opposites see each other for the first time in decades. Acting on the final wishes of their mother, the conflicting brothers reluctantly embark on a drive through the countryside to bury her in their hometown, forcing them to confront family secrets.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
