When he volunteers at a local literary festival, he finds he finds himself drawn to Lena Morelle, an empathetic author of supernatural fiction. While Lena tries to help Michael with the mystery of his nightmarish visions, she must contend with problems of her own – she’s being jealously pursued by a self-obsessed novelist, her one-time lover. As the three adults’ lives converge, the turbulence of the phantom world will soon have nothing on that of the living.

This international smash hit from the makers of Gomorrah is an utterly charming tale of good food, feisty ladies and unlikely friendships during a very Roman holiday. Broke, and armed with only a glass of wine and a wry sense of humor, middle-aged Gianni (director and screenwriter Gianni Di Gregorio) is forced to entertain his 93-year-old mother and three other lively mamas in their ancient apartment during Italy’s biggest summer holiday. The condo debts are mounting, but if Gianni looks after the building manager’s mother during the Pranzo di Ferragosto, all will be forgiven. Then the manager also shows up with an auntie, and then a doctor friend appears with his mother in tow… Can Gianni keep four such lively mamas well fed and happy in these cramped quarters?

It was time for a change…...

After being in business for over 3 years with basically the same website since opening day, we knew it was time to make some changes.  We’ve been evaluating our old site and have worked hard to bring you something new.  Something better…  At least we think so.  Welcome to the new Living Room Theater website where we’ve simplified the layout, provided daily showtime listings, and will soon be offering online ticket sales.

As with all things new, there’s bound to be some errors and omissions here and there.  If you find yourself missing something that was once there, or you can’t find something please let us know.  Come to think of it, we’d also like to re-iterate that this web thing is supposed to be a two-way street – you’re here reading what we have to say, but we’re always interested in what you have to say.  What movies you like or don’t like, or tell us about that gem of a movie you’d like us to play.  Tell us about that great evening you had at our theater or how we can improve things for your next experience with us.  Feel free to post comments here on our blog or e-mail us at info@livingroomtheaters.com.  We’re listening and we’re here for you.
