Explores the strength of that unseen bond that can only be created by sharing family ties. It follows the Merenda family, one of the founding families of Paterno Calebro, a small village in southern Italy. Most members of the Merenda family immigrated to America over a century ago, and throughout the subsequent years the ties between those in America and those who chose to stay in the "old country" have almost become non-existent. In 2002, however, 70-year-old Gaetano Merenda (the filmmaker's father) and his wife are invited to be the guests of honor at a Merenda family reunion to be held in Kansas.
