"Uncle Nino" was a surprising and wonderful movie. You have the typical American upper middle class family living the lives that our society deems successful, but missing the meaning of life. The dad is never home because he's chasing his next promotion. The kids had to leave their friends so the family could upgrade to a larger house in a more upscale neighborhood. The poor wife is trying to hold everything together. Then along comes Uncle Nino from Italy on a surprise visit. As their lives begin to meld, the ways of the 'Old Country' bring perspective on the present, and beautiful things start to happen. I recommend watching this with an Italian Merlot and some American tissues. You'll need both, and you will be uplifted.
