About

A classic comedy set in the balmy Neapolitan heat!

Amidst the heat of a Neapolitan spring, Filumena Marturano lies on her deathbed, waiting to marry the man who has kept her as his mistress for twenty-five years. No sooner than Filumena and Domenico are wed, she makes a miraculous recovery, much to the surprise of her new, unwilling husband and his younger lover! Filumena holds on to a secret from her past life in the brothels of Naples, revealing one of her three grown-up sons is Domenico’s. But which one? Will he accept all three?!

 

Eduardo De Filippo’s classic Italian comedy sparkles with optimism, affection, and a fierce determination for family, no matter what it takes.
