Meglio in famiglia, Italian for "better with family". Favignana, Sicily.
In southern Europe, family takes on an extra dimension. For better or for worse, family always comes first.
Don Vito Corleone warned us in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather: "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."
And Pedro Almodóvar's Volver opens with the women of a family scrubbing their parents' grave, in a village in La Mancha. In Spain, you look after your family even when they are gone. Sometimes, they come back to look after you.
A father paddles. Three kids hold on, one still in floaties. Nobody is in a hurry to get anywhere.
Everything is better in famiglia.
