Summary of Everybody's Fine
A bittersweet tale of family love and family secrets, Everybody's Fine stars Marcello Mastroianni as Matteo Scuro, a retired Sicilian bureaucrat who has seen his friends and his own children leave his island for success on the Italian mainland. Determined to have a family reunion, he decides to travel to the mainland to surprise his five children. His journey takes him to the vast cities of modern Italy, where he is forced to face a chaotic and anxious modern way of life. He begins his journey in Naples, looking for his son Alvaro (Salvatore Cascio), but can not find him. Then he visits Rome, where he sees his son Canio (Marino Cenna), but quickly leaves the chaotic city for Florence, and the home of his daughter Tosca (Valeria Cavalli). In Milan, Matteo visits Guglielmo (Robert Nobile) and his troubled teenage son (Fabio Lellini). Finally, his mission takes takes him to Torino where he visits Norma (Norma Martelli). Matteo is consistently struck by his own children's need to hide their pain and troubles from him, but ultimately, at their family reunion in Rome, Matteo discovers that his children are hiding a wrenching family secret. This beautifully filmed slice of modern Italian life is a poignant portrait of a father's unrealized dreams for his children. Mastroianni is delightful as the keenly observant yet traditional father of five children, named after his most beloved operas. A truly Italian homage to life, family, and operatic moments of tragedy and self-realization, Everybody's Fine is directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.
