Experiencing Interruptions?

Etnoragù

Giulia is a young Neapolitan archaeologist who has just returned
from the Middle East; daughter of a traditionalist family (whose
Father is no less than a "Capo Paranza" of the Madonna of the Arc), she is about to upset family habits by announcing to her mother having met the man of her life: an archaeologist Palestinian and devoted to Islam, faith in which they intend
to raise the child whose girl is pregnant and who will be born of
there at seven months.
Assuntina, already shaken by the revelation, let her husband John digest all these news, to Begin with the most "sacrilegious" of renunciations: the ragout of Sunday that from that moment on will not be prepared with the "tracchiulelle" and "la gallinella" (respectively, cuts and overleg) of pig but, in respect to the new son-in-law, with the "braciolelle" (beef rolls).
One step at a time, encouraged by his wife, Giovanni will have to radically change, for the love of his daughter, many of his habits, until the day of marriage, when the man will try to take a small revenge.
