A lighthearted, family-centered Christmas comedy about generational conflict and parental meddling, built on warmth, humor, and the bonds between fathers and sons.

Milanese policeman Peppino and Neapolitan florist Ambrogio celebrate Christmas in the same ski resort town along with their families. After they discover that both their sons are dating, but have never met their girlfriends in person, the parents embark on a private war against those dating apps that seem to have reached almost everything and everyone.
