Weddings And Other Disasters

Italian comedy about a single, independent woman (Margherita Buy, Il caimano) devoid of matrimonial desires, left to organise her sister's wedding with the help of future brother-in-law (Fabio Volo, Casomai).

"Nina di Majo's engaging Florentine comedy tells the story of single 40-something Nanà (Margherita Buy) who runs a bookstore, lives with her cat and, despite the nagging of her well-to-do family, has no intention of finding a Prince Charming after her great love joined the priesthood. Secretly though, Nanà is in love with Bauer (Mohammad Bakri), a self-centred novelist who takes advantage of her feelings to obtain small professional favours. Problems in Nanà's love life have given her an allergy to the very notion of matrimony and so her sister Beatrice's (Francesca Inaudi) idea of having her organise her wedding, while away on business, shocks her. The result is an irresistible series of mishaps and plot twists." (Italian Film Festival 2011)
