Over the River and Through the Woods

Family, Faith and Food!

Family ties — the kind that bind and sometimes strangle — take centre stage in this heartwarming comedy about growing up, growing old, and holding on. Four loving, loud Italian American grandparents dote on their grandson, Nick Cristano, with a mix of affection and hilarious interference. But when Nick announces he’s moving away to pursue his career, Nonno and Nonna cook up a wild scheme to keep him close — with laugh-out-loud results.

Filled with humour, heart, and a generous serving of pasta, Over the River and Through the Woods is a delightful reminder that family is the centre — the very heart — of life. A feel-good comedy that speaks to every generation.
