Synopsis
Two Italian-American women, cousins, go to Italy in search of their roots. Their search brings the cousins to a 435 year-old family dwelling, a town hall--where they uncover grandmother's baptismal font and the great-grandparents' wedding. Upon finding and touching these validations of their history, the two cousins break into tears and welcome, with unequivocal joy, all that their Italian culture is and all that their Italian culture means to them. Finally, they begin to understand who they are, and they savor the chances to uncover all that there is that has brought them to this place.
