Ferragosto Pizza and Movie Night

It's movie night at the Milford House! Join us for pizza and a screening of When Mom Is Away... With the In-Laws (10 giorni con i suoi) on Sunday, August 17th in celebration of Ferragosto. What's more Italian than that?

(98 minutes, Italian with English subtitles)

This comedy from director Alessandro Genovesi follows the side-splitting adventures of the Rovelli family as they head to Puglia, where eldest daughter Camilla is moving to attend university with her boyfriend, Antonio. The catch? Camilla's father, Carlo, doesn't trust Antonio one bit. Once the Rovelli family arrives at the country estate of Antonio's family, Carlo takes every opportunity to be the world’s most unwelcome guest. Despite their differences and a series of hilarious misunderstandings, the two sets of in-laws begin to realize that they have become one big family.
