The rules for a perfect vacation: never set off without taking your rubber dinghy with you, never set off leaving your dog behind, and—most important—never book the same summerhouse together with other people. Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo are leaving for summer holidays, they don’t know each other, and their lives and families could not be more different: the fussy and meticulous guy, whose business activity is however disastrous; the successful doctor struggling with a son in teenage crisis; the deadbeat hypochondriac with a dog called Brian and a passion for Massimo Ranieri. Three very distant ways of life, accidentally meeting on a small island off the Italian coast: same beach, same seaside, but—more problematically—the same rented house. The clash is unavoidable and very amusing: different habits, two of the children falling in love, the three wives starting off with wrong foot but ending up dancing together in a summer evening—and three recent friends chasing a son on the run. Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo tell us a story about friendship and feelings, as in their most beloved and esteemed film tradition.


FLIFF audiences fist became aware of the Italian comedy team of Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo in their hit film, THREE MEN & A LEG. FLIFF was the only stateside fest to show it, and we followed it up with THAT'S LIFE, ASK ME IF I'M HAPPY, and THE LEGEND OF AL, JOHN & JACK. It has been a few years, and now the team returns with this joyful romp that also has tender & sweet "Family Is Everything" sentiments...GvH
