Plot
At her husband's funeral, Pearl, Jewish mother of two divorced and antagonistic daughters, meets an old Italian friend of her husband, whose advice years previously had stopped the husband leaving home. For 23 years he, now a widower, has secretly loved Pearl.
Sinekatalog’s take
At her husband's funeral, a Jewish widow meets an old Italian admirer who proposes late-life romance. The ensemble comedy is gently funny and sentimental. A warm family comedy-drama carried by its veteran performers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
