About 'Loose Cannons':
Tommaso (Riccardo Scamarcio) visits his conservative family in Southern Italy, ready to announce his new plans to be a writer rather than take over the family's pasta-making business – as well as tell his family that he's gay. But his older brother, Antonio, beats him to the punch and unexpectedly comes out of the closet first – and literally gives their father a heart attack! Now Tommaso is left with a distraught family and a business to run, and stuck playing the dutiful son – until the unexpected arrival of his boyfriend and their gay friends threatens to upend everything. Directed by Ferzan Ozpetek (Steam: The Turkish Bath), and deftly mixing family drama with laugh-out-loud comedy, it's got something for pretty much everyone.
