MADE IN ITALY is a heart-warming comedy set in glorious Tuscany, starring Liam Neeson as Robert, a charming artist who returns to Italy with his estranged son Jack (Neeson’s real life son Micheál Richardson) to sell house they inherited from his late wife. However, they are shocked to find the once glorious villa dilapidated and in a state of disrepair.
Renovations go badly, and father and son find themselves at odds once again. Robert’s comical lack of DIY experience leads him to seek help from some colourful locals, but for Jack, the state of the house seems to mirror his search for memories of happier times with his mother.
