My Italian Family | Damned if You Do, Damned if You Don’t
Director: Gianni Di Gregorio
Italy | 2025 | 97 minutes | Italian | Hebrew and English subtitles
A retired professor leads a peaceful, pleasant life—with a comfortable pension, regular friends, and good meals and wine. But the tranquility vanishes overnight when his daughter arrives at his home with her two unruly children and a marriage on the verge of collapse.
Against the backdrop of Rome’s picturesque streets, piazzas, and small cafés, a hilarious family chaos unfolds—a story about a generation of parents forced to relearn what family, responsibility, and patience mean, and above all, how to survive the next generation.
Gianni Di Gregorio, director of the hit films Mid-August Lunch, The Salt of Life, and Ciao Italy, returns with a smart, warm Italian comedy about love, late parenthood, and the magic of life when everything goes wrong at exactly the right time.
