Nina di Majo's engaging Florentine comedy tells the story of single 40-something Nanà who runs a bookstore, lives with her cat and, despite the nagging of her well-to-do family, has no intention of finding a Prince Charming after her great love joined the priesthood. Secretly though, Nanà (Margherita Buy) is in love with Bauer (Mohammad Bakri), a self-centred novelist who takes advantage of her feelings to obtain small professional favours.
Problems in Nanà's love life have given her an allergy to the very notion of matrimony and so her sister Beatrice's absurd idea of having her organise her wedding while Beatrice is away on a business trip shocks her. The result is an irresistible series of mishaps and plot twists!
Hilarious comedian-come-actress Luciana Littizzetto ('Manual Of Love') lights up the screen as Nanà's dizzy friend, and Fabio Volo (Casomai) is enchanting as her future brother-in-law Alessandro, a genial go-getter whose playful outlook becomes increasingly intriguing.
