An Almost Ordinary Summer
Alternative title: Croce e delizia

Directed by Simone Godano

Two very different families share a seaside holiday home. One is wealthy, eccentric and carefree. The other is working class, close knit and traditional. Their uneasy balance shatters when Tony and Carlo reveal they are engaged, turning a quiet summer into a moment that changes everything.
An Almost Ordinary Summer is a warm Italian comedy about two very different families thrown together when their fathers announce plans to marry. Simone Godano leans into culture-clash humour, but the affectionate performances and focus on family acceptance keep the film more heartfelt than cynical.
