Three retirees decide to move away from Rome to find a better standard of living in a country where their insufficient pensions will go that much further. Planning for the trip sees the trio trawl the pubs and restaurants of a sun-saturated Rome and discover that even at an old age they can still learn one or two lessons about themselves and life. Gianni Di Gregorio, Italy’s laconic answer to Larry David, returns to the humanist comic territory of arthouse hits Mid-August Lunch and The Salt of Life with this warm and delightful reflection on life with characters you will want to spend many more hours with long after the credits roll.


In Italian with English subtitles. Available in U.S. only.
