A
FAMILY LIKE ANOTHER
Like it happens with every family all around the world, also in Italy
the spaghetti family, an average, pretty large and messy family, has
its own problems. While the mum is the typical "mama", the
father is a layabout and their kids, besides being terribly untidy,music
lovers and no school lovers, are in eternal dispute with their parents.
Just one thing makes them get along together... the unconditional love
for spaghetti that they daily eat for lunch and dinner.
Being the family made of 6 people and 3 animals who all share the same
house, the episodes show laods of situations giving life to moments
of true humour. We just can think of all the difficulties provoked by
this co-living, when everyone demands their personal space to act, play,
study or simply relax!
The squabbles between Marta and Poldo due to trivial motives, the competition
between the twins and their brothers, the mother's excessive attentions
for her kids, the father's slight neurosis, Franco's original initiatives
and Silvio's sarcasm, are all together an explosive mix of pure fun.
It's nothing but problems apparently ordinary, yet everyone in the audience
can easily identify with them, because it's situations that often we
have experienced ourselves, suffering, getting angry or having fun,
either as sons, or parents, or relatives of any degree, or simply as
friends or acquaintances.
