"...unexpectedly beguiling and engrossing, with an almost experimental refusal of narrative in its normal sense..." Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian.
A captivating, nostalgic reverie of an Italian American family returning to their Long Island hometown for Christmas Eve with a tremendous ensemble cast including Francesca Scorsese, Maria Dizzia and a delightful duo of bumbling local police officers in Michael Cera and Gregg Turkington.
On Christmas Eve, a family gathers for what could be the last holiday in their ancestral home. As the night wears on and generational tensions arise, one of the teenagers sneaks out with her friends to claim the wintry suburb for her own. Over the course of one evening, personalities converge, tensions arise and rules are broken.
