Synopsis

Like most of us, the Rizzo family have secrets.

Dad Vince won't admit that poker night is in fact acting class, his daughter Vivian pole-dances when she's supposed to be in college, and his son has a fetish that involves a 24-hour webcam and the family's 300-pound neighbour. But when an illegitimate son appears out of the blue, Vince realises he has bigger things to hide.

City Island is a funny, touching and smart family tale about the secrets of the past catching up with the lies of the present, and accepting that nobody's perfect - least of all your loved ones.

"Andy Garcia, showing an untapped flair for comedy, gives one of his best and most beguiling performances" - ROLLING STONE
