An Almost Ordinary Summer

Carlo arrives with Sandro and Diego and Sandro's young family to the rented guesthouse on the Italian coast for a vacation. The group settles into the villa, but Carlo has kept a secret: he will soon marry Toni, the liberal owner of the estate. The holiday begins with a surface of warmth that hides a tangle of loyalties and unspoken desires.

During a visit to a local restaurant, an incident in the men's restroom becomes the catalyst for exposure. The moment makes Carlo and Toni’s relationship obvious to the other diners, and whispers spread quickly. The revelation shocks the group as the adult children realize their fathers are in love.

The adult children learn that their fathers are in love, and the two oldest react with disbelief and resistance. Sandro and Penny struggle to process the news, while the rest of the family tries to keep the gathering civil. Carlo feels the weight of their reactions and worries about how a wedding will be received.

Giulietta, Toni’s mother, senses a strategic opportunity and counsels Penny to resist the marriage. She uses her sharp tongue to sow doubt about Carlo and to frame the union as a threat to the family’s status. Penny begins to feel the pressure and questions her own loyalties.

Penny decides they can unite with Sandro in a plot to stop the wedding, leveraging the situation to protect her own interests. She carefully tests the waters, weighing the consequences of undermining Carlo and Toni. The plan marks a shift from quiet resentment to active scheming.

As meals are shared and island pool time ensues, the families begin to blend despite their initial tensions. Carlo and Toni’s genuine affection softens some edges, and Diego shows a growing willingness to accept the union. The atmosphere shifts from tension to tentative warmth.

Sandro and Penny have a candid, vulnerable conversation about the future, but Penny misreads Sandro’s openness and impulsively kisses him. The moment heightens the tension and threatens to destabilize the fragile alliance forming around Toni and Carlo. The scene deepens the rift between the generations.

Sandro’s pregnant wife walks in on the kiss, and the once-hidden plotting is exposed to the entire household. Penny panics as rain begins to fall, and Carlo escorts a distressed Penny into a car, driving away from the villa to diffuse the mounting chaos. The emotional storm leaves everyone reeling.

Dawn breaks on a day that finds Carlo and Penny talking through the night’s turmoil. Carlo offers empathy and understands Penny’s fear, strengthening a cautious bond between them. The conversation hints at a path toward reconciliation, even as old grievances linger.

Sandro and his family depart with Diego, and Toni is left behind, dozing on a sofa as Carlo’s suspicions about Toni’s attitude toward Diego surface. A rift forms between Carlo and Toni, who remains silent when pressed to apologize. The family fractures as the wedding seems unsettled.

Toni and Penny reconcile and persuade Toni to go in search of Carlo. They travel to Rome, determined to locate him and salvage the situation, signaling a new phase in the family’s struggle to unite. The journey shifts the story from conflict to a shared mission.

They find Sandro at the family business, and he guides Toni by boat to a sand bar where Carlo once mourned his wife. Toni offers a sincere apology and reveals that he hasn’t cancelled the wedding plans, asking Carlo to reconsider and marry him. The ocean setting deepens the emotional resonance of the moment.

Toni delivers a heartfelt apology and expresses his desire to marry Carlo without further delay. The confession signals a turning point, as both men acknowledge their love and commit to a shared future. The tension of days past begins to yield to renewed hope.

The wedding takes place at the villa, uniting the two families in a celebration that honors their hard-won reconciliation. The credits roll with scenes of the newly combined family, living together with renewed trust and affection. The holiday ends on a note of hopeful togetherness.
