A beleaguered restauranteur (Reno) promises his terminally-ill wife she'll be interred in the same cemetery as her child, but the boneyard is so close to capacity that he finds himself on a frenzied mission to keep everyone else in their bucolic Italian village alive. Meanwhile, his wife prepares her younger, sexier sister to replace her as the family matriarch. (official distributor synopsis)
