Mozzarella Stories

Ciccio D.O.P., undisputed lord of the mozzarella kingdom, sees his dairy empire imperiled when enigmatic Chinese producers unleash a half-priced, top-quality mozzarella on Italian shelves, igniting a brutal market war. As he scrambles to defend his realm, his daughter Sofia, the crooner Angelo Tatangelo, former flame Autilia “Jazz-Mood,” and ex-water-polo champ Dudo are swept into a high-stakes struggle that tests loyalties, reignites old passions, and reveals the true cost of domination.

Directed by Edoardo De Angelis, Mozzarella Stories leans on a strong ensemble — Luisa Ranieri, Aida Turturro, Luca Zingaretti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2011.
