But how thick is it really? And can it be forced to live together? All questions that can be answered here - sort of. Because we all are different aren't we? I personally do not have those issues with family members - but hey conflicts make movies work.
So the issues they have here are supposed to be resolved - and of course that only means that we get to see a lot of drama and conflict. It is quite well written and it has some fine scenes and really good acting in it. Some will dig it more than others - as always I reckon. Not bad.
Plot summary
On the death of their father, Tesla and her brother Nik find themselves, due to a singular succession agreement, having to live together for a year under the same roof, even though they have not seen each other for more than twenty years. Tesla's children also live in the house: Sebastiano, a very talented cellist, suffering from highly functioning schizophrenia, to whom the woman has dedicated her life and an obsessive and suffocating protection, and Carolina with whom she has a difficult and conflicting relationship. The difficult coexistence will trigger clashes and continuous quarrels between Nik and Tesla, two siblings at the antipodes, and the unexpected birth of a strong bond between Nik and his nephew Sebastiano. Over time everyone will gradually find a balance, until a series of events lead the characters to have to deal with their fears and secrets, in a difficult journey towards forgiveness and acceptance of themselves and their emotional and family ties.

Blood is thicker than ...
Off beat...
... But touching. Somewhat predictable without being overly syrupy. The ending takes artistic license and it leaves on an up-note. Too bad they had to feed the evil beast with just the one industry required blasphemy.
A new Italian movie on Netflix
It is decent; it has a simple but effective plot, the performances of Alessandro Preziosi and Francesco Cavallo are good and the music is passable; Roberto Capucci has a lot of potential as a film director.
