“An unexpected text about the death of an old ‘friend’ prompts Dominic to visit his mentor, Enzo. Dominic and Enzo reminisce over a bottle of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, homemade orecchiette, and an Amaro Averna (on the rocks) on Christmas Eve about the good old days, remembering those that have left them and just how much our family ties shape who we are and what we are made of. A good old-fashioned Italian-American tale of food, family, and loyalty, that spans generations, with a focus on tender male friendships and just how necessary they can be.”

“Big Night” meets “A Christmas Story” meets “Goodfellas” minus 99% of the mob stuff.
