Overview
A mother and a father are travelling across Europe to the Wedding. Their daughter is getting married. The mother takes a coach from Slovakia- the father is riding a motorbike from France. They meet for the first time in many years near the estuary of the river Po. Many people cross the pages of their story- Frederico, an Italian scrap merchant; a band of young computer hackers; Thomas, who writes encyclopedias; Gino, their future son-in-law, whose passion is fishing; Dr Gastaldi, who breaks the bad news; a painted Madonna in a roadside shrine. On her wedding day Ninon will kick off her shoes and dance forever with Gino as the band strikes up 'Last Friday Drives Monday Crazy'. This is a story of a wedding such as could only take place at the end of our century, told by a Greek who loves quoting Sophocles.
