As the Italian holiday of “Pranzo di Ferragosto” approaches, cash-strapped Gianni gets help from 

his landlord, his friend and his doctor, who all offer financial relief in exchange for Gianni looking 

after their elderly relatives over the holiday. Four mismatched Italian mamas at the same table make 

for an awkward, hilarious and touching mid-August lunch.
