Synopsis: (Comedy/Drama) Luciano "Lucky" De Luca, a young Italian-American with a passion for photography, lives a quiet middle-class life on the northwest side of Chicago with his ailing immigrant father, Vincenzo. When Vincenzo confides in Lucky about a past indiscretion - a son he fathered during his service in the Italian army (before meeting and marrying Lucky's late mother in the U.S.) he sets off a whirlwind of questions and emotions. Passing away shortly after, Vincenzo leaves Lucky with only a name and childhood photo of the boy. After much soul-searching, Lucky decides he'll travel to Rome to find the boy, Francesco, now in his mid-30's, and convince him to take their father's urn on a road-trip to Molise to the small paese where he was born, Castel San Vincenzo (IS).
