This is what the film is all about
About My Father reportedly revolves around (Maniscalco) and his father, Salvo (De Niro), as they spend a few days with his fiancé's wealthy yet quirky family.
The gathering, however, becomes a cultural confrontation, leading Sebastian and Salvo to understand the "true meaning of family."
It not only promises to be a laughter riot but also aims to deliver an emotional message.
