Me, Them and Lara

Me, Them and Lara (Io, loro e Lara, 2010) is an Italian tragicomedy from Carlo Verdone you can watch online on iFILM. Verdone himself plays Carlo, a priest who comes home after years of missionary work in Africa to find his family in far worse shape than he left them.

Back home he's swallowed by squabbles over inheritance, an ageing father, a frazzled brother and a sister whose marriage is falling apart. Then he meets Lara, played by Laura Chiatti — flighty, charming and entirely the wrong person for a man in a cassock to fall for. The closer they get, the harder his faith and his sense of himself begin to slip. Verdone walks the line between big-family farce and the quiet ache of a man doubting his vocation for the first time in years. Stream Me, Them and Lara (2010) online on iFILM.
