Details

Two brothers. One girl. A lot of ice cream. When Guiseppe Raffa decides to retire from the ice cream business, only one son can take over. Lino and Rocco must split the business for a year and compete against each other to sell the most ice cream. The competition begins, but it’s not long before tactics get dirty. Rocco is up to something with the garden wall. His wife, Bernie, is sick of waiting at home for the children that may never arrive. Lino is in love with Lulu, even though she says that she’ll break his heart. And Lulu? She has bigger ideas. She’s in love with ice cream and will let nothing stop her from reaching her goal. When Lino starts to lose the competition, she helps Rocco invent a very special ice cream that the people of Manchester can’t stop craving. Will Manchester get their ‘fix’?
