“I realized that the only way we can begin to solve the world’s problems is to solve our own. And the key thing that goes missing, even in the most intimate relationships, is a true and constant accounting of who we were once, how we’ve become who we are now, and how our pasts can impact our futures. Home isn’t a house, but a state of mind wherein acceptance of others and unconditional love abounds. And at the heart of the home is the family, without which we are all much more alone than we think.” ? Raymond De Felitta Director De Felitta made this statement in relation to the days following 9/11. Instead of contemplating art, he pondered the future and what is truly important in life. The result is this charming story of a fractured family healing itself. The working class Rizzos are so overwhelmed by their secrets they fail to connect to each other. Only when the past imposes itself on the present do the Rizzos realize that strength can be found in the imperfection of home.
