My Big Gay Italian Wedding

In Berlin, Antonio proposes to his live-in boyfriend Paolo and receives a hopeful yes. Paolo then suggests they go to Antonio's hometown in Civita di Bagnoregio for Easter so Antonio can come out to his parents. The couple begins plotting how to reveal their relationship to the family.

Antonio and Paolo arrive in Civita di Bagnoregio with Benedetta and Donato. At dinner, Antonio nervously announces that he is in a same-sex relationship and planning to marry Paolo. The family reaction begins with Roberto's shock and Anna's tempered excitement.

Antonio's mother Anna reveals the conditions for the wedding: it must be held in Civita, Enzo Miccio must be hired, Roberto will officiate as mayor, and Paolo's mother must attend. The news frames the civil and religious hurdles the couple must clear. Paolo's involvement raises pressure on everyone.

Paolo explains that he has not spoken to his mother for three years after a previous rejection of his sexuality. Anna remains adamant that the mother must be present. The dynamic shows the emotional gulf the wedding must bridge.

Roberto refuses to perform the ceremony but agrees to attend elsewhere if forced. Anna exiles him from the house until he changes his mind. The couple faces a new clash over parental involvement.

Anna brings Antonio, Benedetta, and Donato to Father Francesco to help persuade Roberto or to officiate if they fail. The priest offers guidance and a possible path to a blessing within the town. The move shows the characters turning to local allies to salvage the wedding.

Paolo travels with Antonio and the others to Naples to invite his mother, who remains uninterested. Donato offers to pose as Paolo's mother to ensure her attendance. The journey highlights the gap between family expectations and the wedding plan.

Donato volunteers to pose as Paolo's mother in Naples to curry favor with Paolo's real mother. The deception illustrates the lengths the group will go to gain acceptance. The plan adds a layer of humorous tension to the journey.

Enzo Miccio enlists the entire town to create a beautiful wedding in a local ruined church. The community becomes integral to the wedding's spectacle. The plan envisions a festive, communal celebration.

Antonio's ex-girlfriend Camilla remains in love with him and tries to insert herself into the new life. Her actions cause Paolo to doubt Antonio's devotion for a moment. Paolo's trust is tested amid the wedding preparations.

Anna threatens divorce if Roberto does not capitulate, escalating tensions. In a dramatic move, Roberto sets the wedding venue on fire, forcing a rescue by Antonio and Paolo. The crisis nearly derails the wedding.

The next day, Roberto officiates the ceremony in the town square while Donato walks Paolo down the aisle dressed as a woman. Paolo discovers that his real mother Vincenza is already in attendance. The crowd witnesses a cathartic moment rather than a traditional ceremony.

Camilla reveals she and Antonio slept together after he and Paolo began their relationship, shocking Paolo. He initially tries to leave, but Antonio professes his love and sings to keep him there. The wedding guests join in, affirming their commitment and unity as a chosen family.
