DVD Description
When a widowed mother refuses to date even years after her husband's death, daughter Vicky (Sofia Milos) sets out on a quest to find romance for her mom - even if it means striking a deal with a handsome gambler (Jason Isaacs) whom no mother would ever approve!
Synopsis
Set in the small fishing village of New Bedford, Massachusetts, this romantic comedy is a multi-generational tale of a Portuguese-American woman who is coaxed out of mourning by her daughter and mother-in-law. Celia (Sofia Milos) is a 37-year-old widow who lost her husband to a fishing accident seven years earlier. Resigned to a life of celibate heartbreak, she spends her days working at the local textile factory while taking care of her elderly mother-in-law (Lupe Ontiveros) and her rebellious teenage daughter Vicky (Emmy Rossum). Her nights are dedicated to expressing her passion and loss in her performances of "Fado," Portuguese folk music, at a local nightclub. One evening during her performance, Charles Beck (Jason Isaacs), a mysterious British stranger, arrives at the club and is smitten with the lovely torch singer. However, Charles, driving a Jaguar and claiming to be involved in the fishing industry, is not exactly what he seems. He's actually a drifter and professional gambler searching for a safe harbour. At first, Celia refuses to be wooed by the romantic stranger but after her daughter gets involved she begins to soften. What follows is a warmhearted, character-driven romance in the tradition of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING.
