PLOT : When Vlada Koza, a Ukrainian woman, unexpectedly becomes a grandmother she travels to Sicily, from her home in the Carpathian mountains, to stay with her daughter. While her daughter appreciates the gesture, Vlada is suffocatingly attentive. Without hesitation her daughter kicks her out, leaving her to navigate Sicily alone and penniless. A chance encounter makes her the unlikely governess of the Don Fredo family, a dysfunctional mafia family struggling to evolve in a modern world. Within the walls of Villa Laganà, Vlada’s desire to care for people brings a palpable feeling of well-being to the discordant Don Fredo family.
