	In this delightfully tumultuous tale, Flaminia is in love with Isabella and needs the approval of Isabella’s mother, Signora Bianca, before they can be married. All that's left is one final meeting to agree on the details. But an unexpected storm is rolling through - and not just the weather outside! Something in Flaminia's past emerges that threatens to cancel the whole engagement. When the power goes out, everyone's plans are thrown into chaos! Will calmer heads prevail? This fast-paced comedy is suitable for all ages.
