The Price of Nonna's Inheritance (2024) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of The Price of Nonna's Inheritance (2024), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

One evening, Anna meets her high school ex, Nunzio, who has a dubious past. After he makes an unwanted advance, Anna rejects him and leaves. A month later, Anna, her husband Carlo, and their children, Alessandra and Emilio, are at a restaurant waiting for grandma Giuliana, who has an announcement. The family thinks it’s about Giuliana’s famous six-million-euro inheritance. Instead, Giuliana announces her engagement to Nunzio.

Anna is devastated, believing Nunzio is after Giuliana’s money and may resort to murder, as his previous wealthy, older wives died suddenly. When Anna warns Giuliana, she is dismissed and learns that Giuliana plans to marry Nunzio in Menorca and move to Brazil. Desperate, Anna plans to kill Nunzio, supported by her family except for Emilio.

Alessandra devises a plan using aconitum, a plant in Menorca that causes death by asphyxiation, simulating a heart attack. The family arrives at the rented villa for the wedding but finds the villa occupied by the caretaker, Luis, and his partner, Patricia. Alessandra hesitates to push Nunzio off a cliff, and Emilio gets accidentally poisoned by aconitum, foiling the plan. Carlo then tries to fake Nunzio’s suicide, but the surveillance cameras fail. Days before the wedding, Bojan, a blind Serbian wedding planner and Nunzio’s best man, arrives. He overhears the family’s plan and blackmails them for 400,000 euros. Anna agrees, and Bojan collaborates with them.

Carlo later suspects Anna of an affair when he sees Nunzio with a woman by the pool. On the eve of the wedding, the family drugs Nunzio with sleeping pills in order to suffocate him with a car exhaust pipe. Emilio and Alessandra back out, but Carlo and Anna proceed. However, the plan fails as the chosen car is electric, lacking an exhaust pipe.

That night, gunshots wake everyone. They find Nunzio wounded, Luis holding a gun, and Patricia crying. It turns out Nunzio had an affair with Patricia, discovered by Luis. With Nunzio hospitalized, Giuliana remains determined to go to Brazil. She plans to treat Nunzio as a servant, renouncing the six million euros and transferring the money to Anna. Despite Anna’s dismay, she lets her mother go. Anna keeps the money as a secret, and promises her family a future vacation to reunite them.

Ending Explained – What Happens at the End of The Price of Nonna's Inheritance?

Still wondering what the ending of The Price of Nonna's Inheritance (2024) really means? Here’s a spoiler-heavy breakdown of the final scene, major twists, and the deeper themes that shape the film’s conclusion.

The film’s ending reveals that everything was a complex web of deception and family schemes aimed at securing the inheritance from Anna’s wealthy grandmother. Throughout the story, Anna and her family attempt various plans to eliminate Nunzio, her grandmother’s new lover, who is portrayed as a manipulative and unscrupulous man with a dark past, including mysterious deaths of previous wives. Their efforts escalate from attempts to poison him with plants, to faking his suicide, and even trying to harm him physically, all while being watched carefully because of the property’s security cameras.

In a surprising twist, it’s revealed that Nunzio is not as unharmed or purely malicious as initially thought. He is alive and well, having been shot in the leg by Luis, Anna’s grandmother’s other lover, after they caught Nunzio cheating with Patricia, Luis’s partner. This shooting happened earlier, and Nunzio woke up, showing resilience and stamina. Meanwhile, Anna’s grandmother, Nonna, surprises everyone by declaring she plans to go to Brazil with Nunzio—though she insists she’ll pretend to have no money, as a way to have her fun and keep her family guessing.

Anna’s motives for her actions become clearer: she’s not just fighting for her inheritance but also trying to protect her mother from Nunzio’s manipulations. By the end, her mother is safe, and some semblance of familial love is visible despite all the chaos. Nonna’s plan to leave with Nunzio demonstrates a rebellious desire to live freely, regardless of her age or the inheritance, which she confesses she might fake to keep the money. Anna, torn between her family’s greed and her love for them, ultimately decides to stay with her loved ones, refusing to let the inheritance or family conflicts tear them apart.

In the end, although the family’s schemes and misdeeds seem reckless, they show that behind all the deception, there’s genuine love and loyalty. Anna secures the inheritance, her mother is protected, and Nonna, with her new partner, prepares to start a new life, carefree and defiant. The film closes on a note of chaotic but heartfelt resolution, suggesting that sometimes, the cost of family and money is high, but love and resilience can still prevail amid the madness.
