Genova

(Great Britain, 2008, 93 minutes)

A newly widowed father and his two daughters move to Genova hoping for a fresh start away from the shadow of the deceased mother. Sketchy and rather aimless drama of family loss, whose sincere performances and occasional inspired moment fail to rescue from boredom.
