Paolo Virzì returned to Ventotene for Un altro ferragosto, sequel to his Ferie d’agosto, which won the David di Donatello for Best Film in 1996. The cast has familiar and new faces: Silvio Orlando, Sabrina Ferilli, Christian De Sica, Laura Morante, Andrea Carpenzano, Vinicio Marchioni, Anna Ferraioli Ravel, with Emanuela Fanelli, Rocco Papaleo, Paola Tiziana Cruciani, Agnese Claisse. And: Gigio Alberti, Claudia Della Seta, Lorenzo Fantastichini, Liliana Fiorelli, Raffaella Lebboroni, Milena Mancini, Maria Laura Rondanini, Ema Stokholma, Lele Vannoli, Silvio Vannucci.
Twenty-six years have passed since that August evening when Cecilia (Laura Morante) told her partner, journalist Sandro Molino (Silvio Orlando), of her pregnancy while they were spending the summer with their group of intellectual and bohemian friends. Next-door villa, another group of holidaymakers, Ruggero Mazzalupi (the late Ennio Fantastichini) with two chaotic Roman families love trash TV and make a lot of noise. The two different worlds are destined to clash.
Today Altiero Molino is a 26-year-old digital entrepreneur who has come to Ventotene with his model husband to gather old friends to his sick father’s side and give him one last holiday. He doesn’t expect to find the island fizzing with excitement for the wedding of Sabry Mazzalupi to boyfriend Cesare: Ruggero’s clumsy daughter is now an internet celebrity. Once again, the two tribes of holiday makers, two apparently unreconcilable Italy’s are destined to square off again at Ferragosto, this time in the definitive challenge.

One August evening in 1996, in the villa on the island of Ventotene where journalist Sandro Molino spends the summers, his girlfriend Cecilia informs him of her pregnancy.

The two tribes of holiday makers, two apparently unreconcilable Italys are destined to square off again at Ferragosto, this time in a definitive challenge.
