About My Father

• Comedy

This cheerfully awkward comedy navigates a weekend of escalating social mishaps as a son attempts to introduce his boisterous, Italian immigrant father to his sophisticated, wealthy girlfriend’s family. Beyond a simple culture clash, the film blossoms into a surprisingly tender exploration of father-son connection, revealing how both men redefine “family” through a series of hilariously uncomfortable encounters. Salvo, a proudly unconventional hotelier, doesn’t strive to *fit in* with the country club world, but instead forces a genuine, if chaotic, honesty upon it – and a quiet re-evaluation of values for all involved. The narrative shines not as a story of assimilation, but as a celebration of embracing eccentricities and finding common ground despite seemingly insurmountable differences.
