Io, loro e Lara is a 2010 film directed by and starring Carlo Verdone.

The film was dedicated to Verdone's father, Mario, who died during

the making of the film.

 

Plot: Carlo Mascolo is a priest on a mission in Africa. Following a profound spiritual crisis, the priest decides to return to Rome, where the rest of his family lives, with the idea of taking a break to reflect and gain clarity.

However, when Carlo arrives home, he is overwhelmed by his family's problems: his elderly father Alberto has married the young Moldovan caregiver Olga, much to the disappointment of his siblings Luigi and Beatrice, who fear for their inheritance. Carlo also has doubts about his father's choice, but everything changes with the sudden death of his stepmother.

The situation takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Lara, the deceased's daughter: Alberto—now a widower and desperate—orders the girl to live in the family home for a while, where she shares her life with the priest. Initially, a good relationship develops between the two, but this strains when Carlo discovers that the young woman is leading a double life. But it's only the beginning of a long series of misunderstandings...

 

For a while, at Carlo's father's insistence, Lara

settles in the old family home, alone with the missionary.
