The charismatic Gianni Di Gregorio (co-scenarist of the smash hit Gomorrah), stars in his directorial debut.  Middle-aged Gianni resides with his 93-year-old mother in their ancient apartment.  The condo debts are mounting, but if Gianni looks after the building manager’s mother during the Pranzo di Ferragosto (Italy’s biggest summer holiday), all will be forgiven.
