Take a family of 12, a Tuscan villa and a hot summer in 1964. Add beautiful Anna (Kasia Smutniak), a handsome cousin, a jealous sister, and a bunch of young people just out of their teens, and you get the unforgettable flavour of ‘13 at a table’.
Giulio (Giancarlo Giannini), one of those youngsters, now a divorced middle-aged man, returns to the family villa where he spent his childhood holidays with the entire family, in order to arrange for its sale.
The house brings back memories of his youth and the arrival of the beautiful Anna, who was relentlessly pursued by all his brothers but ultimately won over by him. The house that’s been a home to many; the walls that have witnessed the comings and goings of three generations.
Overcome with emotions, and now aware of the significance of the property, Giulio decides to buy all his relatives' shares and move back to the villa with his family.
The film travels back and forth between the present and the past as the story reveals how Giulio came to be where he is today and what he must do to bring the family back into his life. |
