Opis

ANGELA has been trying to reunite her feuding grandmother and older sister all of her adult life. When her unmarried older sister, LISA, announced she was pregnant at only 19, a stormy argument ensued between LISA and their traditional Italian grandmother who had raised the two girls ever since their parents died tragically six years earlier. In the end, MARIA threw LISA out of the house, or did she? That was over 20 years ago and Angela has been trying to unite her family ever since. On the eve of DAVID'S 21st birthday, Angela finds herself nostalgic for the family she once knew. She makes one final attempt at reconciling the two most important people in her life next to her little family. To do this, she decides to create a scrapbook of all of the children, David and Lisa included. Her plan is to present the scrapbook to her grandmother at her surprise 85th birthday party complete with the actual people involved, if Lisa will agree to her plan. With a bittersweet ending, we learn that family is everything and we should cherish every moment.
