The Son of the Bride Movie Review 2001

Middle-aged Rafael Belvedere (Darin) manages the Buenos Aires restaurant started by his father Nino (Alterio) and mother Norma (Aleandro). Rafael's workaholic behavior has cost him his marriage and estranged him from his daughter and his girlfriend Naty (Verbeke). After suffering a mild heart attack, Rafael is forced to slow down and take more of an interest in domestic matters, including Nino's decision to remarry his wife in the church service they never had, even though Norma is living in a nursing home because she suffers from Alzheimer's and is frequently unaware of what is going on around her. Spanish with subtitles.
