CIAO CIAO
Special Features: U.S. Premiere
A chance encounter reunites Charlotte and Jessica, two old friends who have not seen each other in years. Dragging their unenthused husbands along, they gather for dinner and drinks. But it quickly becomes apparent that the husbands are at odds — one a boastful capitalist, the other a freelance artist — and the dinner instantly becomes awkward. As the drinks continue to flow, the evening devolves into all-out chaos when decorum is abandoned and secrets are revealed. Juggling multiple storylines with cosmic connections, filmmaker Keith Albert Tedesco brings a distinctly Maltese twist to this riotous comedy of errors and manners. –Josh Gardner
