Storyline

Plot Summary

Explores the strength of that unseen bond that can only be created by sharing family ties. It follows the Merenda family, one of the founding families of Paterno Calebro, a small village in southern Italy. Most members of the Merenda family immigrated to America over a century ago, and throughout the subsequent years the ties between those in America and those who chose to stay in the "old country" have almost become non-existent. In 2002, however, 70-year-old Gaetano Merenda (the filmmaker's father) and his wife are invited to be the guests of honor at a Merenda family reunion to be held in Kansas. Written by IDFA
