December 23, 1983: Just days before
Christmas, the Oliverio family readies their Feast of the Seven Fishes,
an Italian tradition stretching back to the old country of Calabria.
Amidst the preparations, Tony Oliverio, a young man with big dreams and a
bigger heart, wonders if he’ll find love this Christmas season or spend
it alone with his loud and loving family- Great Grandma Nonnie, Grandpa
Johnny, Great Uncles Frankie and Carmine, his parents, his brother, and
a host of friends. When Sarah, the girlfriend of his cousin Angelo,
introduces Tony to Beth, it looks like Tony’s holiday experience might
take a turn for the better. That is unless Nonnie thinks Beth isn’t
good enough for her great-grandson, and Beth’s Ivy League suitor doesn’t
steal her heart first. Come on inside, where it’s warm, and the smells
of cooking fish permeate the air, and let’s have a visit.
