Synopsis: Holy Cannelloni is a short film about two children from a big traditional Italian family, growing up in England in the 1980s. When 13-year-old Maria mistakes her Holy Communion day for an actual wedding, she soon discovers who she’s destined to marry, and what ‘sexed’ really means. Taking Nonna’s advice – passed down from God, of course – Maria decides to make a change and to show her family what a strong Italian woman is made of.
