Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In Rhode Island, in the Italian-American family Sposato, Danni is going to marry Geoffrey Brancato. Danni lives with her parents Santo and Irena and is the third and 'the good daughter' of her family. Her three sisters come for her wedding: the older Nikki, a successful TV starlet, who works in a TV show very similar to 'Baywatch'. Nikki brings her boy-friend and manager Marty Weinberg to be introduced to her family. Chrissy, who deals with investments in Wall Street; and the rebel younger Toni , who plays in a rock-and- roll band with her lesbian lover Amy Kayne. Together, they have meals in the restaurant of Tom Terranova, the former and first love of Nikki. Many discussions of the Sposato family show wounds not healed, when the characters expose their real feelings. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |

| Quotes |
Danisa 'Danni' Sposato:
You know what, that's it! That's it! Oh, God! All my life you guys have made me feel bad, because, because I love to be at home, in Westerly with my family. And when you were mean to me, or you made me feel stupid, or you ignored me, I tried not to judge you. And I pretended not to be subconscious of it. And now, I found a man that I love. Who I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with. And I'm gonna make my own family. And I wanted you all to be here. So maybe we could take the good times and forget the bad. But I'm an idiot. Cos you don't care about me. You'll never care about me. You're never gonna care about anyone but yourselves. So, you know what? Just go, go on, go back to wherever the hell it is you came from, go back and hide in your big fucking important lives. I don't need you in my wedding, and I don't need you in my life. And you know what? Just so you guys can stop worrying, I'm - I'm not simple. Or pathetic. I'm actually really - I'm really happy. See more » |
