A Small Southern Enterprise (Italian: Una piccola impresa meridionale) is a 2013 Italian comedy film directed by Rocco Papaleo.[4]
It is based on Papaleo's novel of the same name.
Plot
Former priest Don Costantino is forced by his mother to take refuge in a family-owned lighthouse, where she hopes to hide his broken vows from a judgmental village. But isolation proves impossible. As several people trickle into the building—including his humiliated brother-in-law, a former prostitute, a lesbian couple, and an eccentric renovation crew hiding their own domestic crises—the lighthouse transforms into a sanctuary for social outcasts. United by scandal and marginalization, this dysfunctional assembly bands together to turn the crumbling fortress into a cozy hotel, providing them with an opportunity to rebuild their future and seek personal redemption, finally leaving society's prejudices behind.
