MAGARI / IF ONLY

Alma, Jean and Sebastiano are three sibling who from Paris, the city where they live in the safe, upper-middle-class environment of their mother, find themselves thrown into the arms of Carlo, an Italian father, nonconformist and who has no idea how to look after himself. During a Christmas holiday by the sea, the knots of family tensions come to a head. Carlo demonstrates to his children that he is an unreliable but incredibly charismatic father and – despite the daily challenges and tensions – little Alma continues to believe that one day his family may to come back together.
