IFF25 When Mum Is Away... With the In-laws

After the great success of the first two films in the series, 10 Days Without Mamma (IFF19) and When Mum is Away...with the Family (IFF21), the adventures of the Rovelli family continue in this Italian box office hit comedy directed by Alessandro Genovesi. Fabio De Luigi and Valentina Lodovini return as Carlo and Giulia Rovelli and this time, the family is heading to sunny Puglia, where their eldest daughter, eighteen-year-old Camilla, is moving to attend university with her boyfriend, Antonio Paradiso. However, Carlo is not ready to let go of his firstborn—especially if it means having her live with a young man he does not trust at all. Once the Rovellis arrive at the farmhouse of the Paradiso family, Carlo does not miss an opportunity to be the world’s most unwelcome guest. Amid theft, lies, culture clashes, romantic escapades, and a series of hilarious misunderstandings, only time will tell whether the Rovellis and the Paradisos will remain at odds or become one big family.
