Big Love is the tempestuous story of 50 brides who have fled their 50 intended grooms and find themselves marooned on the shores of Italy. Three sisters leave the boat and take refuge in a dreamlike Villa owned by Piero and his mother Bella. When they are forced to marry, the women make a murderous pact, and the marriage ceremony erupts into a dance of carnage and cake. From Piero’s gay cross-dressing nephew to the violent grooms who storm the home via helicopter, Mee deftly explores what happens when people and their ideals collide. Big Love probes the relationship between justice and war, gender and choice, compassion and revenge in an explosive comedy of the sexes.
