In Berlin, Antonio proposes to his live-in partner, Paolo, who says yes. Paolo asks if he can accompany Antonio back to his Italian village, Civita di Bagnoregio, for Easter, which Paolo suggests is a good time to come out to his parents.

Antonio and Paolo arrive in Civita with their flatmates Benedetta and Donato, and Antonio nervously announces his news at dinner. Antonio’s father, Roberto, is shocked. His mother Anna is excited to celebrate the wedding, but she has conditions: it must happen in Civita; she will hire famous wedding planner Enzo; as mayor, Roberto will officiate the ceremony; and Paolo’s mother must attend. Paolo explains that he has not spoken to his mother for three years since her negative reaction to the news that he is gay, but Anna is adamant.

Anna brings Antonio and Paolo to Frate Francesco, who agrees to help them convince [Roberto], and to officiate the wedding if they are unsuccessful. With Antonio, Benedetta and Donato in tow, Paolo reluctantly visits his mother, Vincenza, in Naples to invite her to the wedding. She has no interest, and cross-dresser Donato offers to pose as Paolo’s mother. Enzo enlists the entire town to create the beautiful wedding Anna is expecting at a local ruined church. Antonio’s ex-girlfriend Camilla is still in love with him, and her attempts to insinuate herself into his new life make Paolo temporarily doubt Antonio’s devotion.

Anna threatens to file for divorce if Roberto does not capitulate. He, in turn, sets the wedding venue on fire, and has to be rescued by Antonio and Paolo. The next day, Roberto officiates the ceremony in the town square. Donato walks Paolo down the aisle dressed as a woman, but Paolo is pleasantly surprised to see that his real mother Vincenza is already there. Camilla interrupts the wedding with the reveal that she and Antonio slept together once after he and Paolo were together. Upset, Paolo moves to leave, but Antonio stops him by professing his love and singing

“Don’t Leave Me This Way”,
