The Cantone family gathers to hand over the reins of the pasta-making business to the next generation. Determined to escape his fate, aspiring writer Tommaso (Riccardo Scamarcio, My Brother is an Only Child) plans a 'coming out' but is upstaged by older brother Antonio who reveals his own secret. With the family in turmoil, Tommaso ends up running the factory but despite a growing affection for gorgeous new business partner Alba (Nicole Grimaudo, Baaria), and worldy advice from his grandmother, his heart isn't in it. A surprise visit from his flamboyant friends forces some well hidden family secrets to the surface in this outrageous, bittersweet comedy 'al dente' from award-winning director Ferzan Özpetek.
