Christmas at the Cupiello House

In the heart of an Italian community, Luca Cupiello lives alongside his wife Concetta, their son Tommasino, and Luca's brother Pasquale. The household is far from perfect: Tommasino, a mischievous teenager, frequently steals from his uncle, while daughter Ninuccia struggles with her unhappy marriage to Nicolino and plots to escape with her lover, Vittorio. Concetta makes a conscious effort to conceal the family's turmoil from Luca.As the tensions within their lives escalate, Luca finds solace in creating the elaborate Nativity scene in preparation for Christmas. This serene and meticulous ritual acts as both a haven from his troubled home and an opportunity for reflection on the true meaning of togetherness and love during this festive season. Amidst the chaos, Luca's quiet determination to find joy amid adversity serves as a poignant reminder to the entire family that there is always hope, even when life seems unbearable.
