Gerri (Vincenzo Salemme, Three Perfect Daughters IFF21) is a caring and attentive grandfather. He lives with his daughter’s family, helping around the house and taking care of his beloved grandchildren.
This idyllic family balance is broken when Grandpa Tom (Max Tortora, Bad Tales IFF20, Loro IFF18) returns to Italy after years living abroad, wanting to spend time with his grandchildren. Exuberant and boisterous, Grandpa Tom bursts into their lives and upends their routine.

The clash between Gerri and Tom will give rise to a heated competition, resulting in a series of hilarious challenges between grandparents, with no holds barred, plus plenty of twists and turns.
Directed and co-written by Gianluca Ansanelli (From Naples With Love IFF17) and set in and around Rome, The War of the Nonni is an entertaining comedy for the whole family about two hilarious and very competitive grandparents.
