Pranzo di ferragosto
- Comedy
Gianni is a middle-aged man living in Rome with his imposing and demanding elderly mother. His only outlet from her and the increasing debt into which they are sinking, are the increasingly frequent quiet sessions at the local tavern. As an Oriental saying goes, 'Moments of crisis are moments of opportunities'. These appear during the celebration of the holiday of Ferragosto on 15 August. That's when everybody leaves town to have fun. Opportunity knocks on Gianni's door in the most unexpected way.
Mid-August Lunch is a 2008 Italian comedy film about Gianni, a middle-aged Roman man trapped between his demanding mother and mounting debts, who discovers an unexpected opportunity during the Ferragosto holiday when the city empties out. The film offers a darkly humorous look at family obligation and economic hardship in modern Italy.
