About this movie

Little Italy means big trouble for Angelo, especially when you’re living with your parents, whose ambition in life is to see their one and only son married off to a nice Italian girl. When Angelo announces it’s time to move out and get a place of his own they’re devastated. However, they soon recover when they find out he’s moving in with his old childhood friend Nino. After all, he’s a nice good-looking Italian boy and he’s also the well-respected local law-enforcement officer. A perfect room-mate for Angelo. But Nino and Angelo are more than just room-mates - they’re gay lovers! All hell breaks loose (Italian style of course) and the battle lines are drawn as “tutta la famiglia” goes to war. Will Angelo and Nino be able to resist the pressure coming from all sides and find the strength to survive as a couple? Or will the family have their way and force the pair apart?
