An elderly Italian peasant, Uncle Nino (Pierrino Mascarino) comes to America for the first time to spend some time with his nephew, Robert Micelli (Joan of Arcadia's Joe Mantegna), and his family (Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Anne Archer) Fourteen-year-old Bobby (Trevor Morgan) and eleven-year-old Gina (Gina Mantegna, making her film debut).

What he discovers is take-out food, manicured lawns, teen smoking, processed vegetables, and a barely communicative family---each disconnected from the others, caught up in lives of multi-tasking.

UNCLE NINO is a film about the all-too-often lost art of living. A fable-like story grounded in realism, UNCLE NINO is a feel-good, Capra-esque tale, whose magical lead character teaches others how to slow down and enjoy life's simple pleasures: good food and drink, music, and most important, La Famiglia!

UNCLE NINO just completed a record setting 55 week run in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

UNCLE NINO is the winner of the Crystal Heart Award at the Heartland Film Festival, an Audience Choice Award from the Marco Island Film Festival, and the recipient of the Dove Family-Approved Seal from The Dove Foundation, a non-profit organization that encourages and promotes the production and distribution of wholesome entertainment for all ages.

As seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, your early arrival is suggested. No one will be admitted once theatre capacity is reached.
