OTHERS CALL THIS A HOLIDAY

  • A turbulent family story featuring two unequal sisters, a quirky father, and an adventurous trip to Italy.

But when they set off, Bruno is sitting in the back seat. And Netti suspects that this will be anything but a relaxing vacation, because her father has his own plans, and the travel group keeps getting bigger ...
