Synopsis
Another Summer Holiday (Un altro ferragosto, 2024) is Paolo Virzì's Italian tragicomedy, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Once again the tiny island of Ventotene hosts two holiday crowds who stand for two irreconcilable Italys.
Altiero, a young digital entrepreneur, brings his husband and his old circle of friends to the island to give his gravely ill father one last summer in the place he loves. Peace isn't on the menu. Nearby, the island is buzzing over the wedding of Sabry Mazzalupi — the gauche daughter of a Roman shopkeeper turned online celebrity — whose big day has swelled into a global event, complete with press and shady envoys from the new political regime. Two tribes, the bookish and the brash, are set to collide at the height of the Ferragosto holiday.
Virzì revisits his own 1996 hit Ferie d'agosto, bringing the characters back almost thirty years later to see what the country has become. Silvio Orlando, Sabrina Ferilli and Christian De Sica lead the cast. Caustic, melancholy and thoroughly Italian, it's a comedy of manners with teeth. Stream Another Summer Holiday online on iFILM.
