Max and Anna Mancini have been married for 25 years and have two teenage children. The two boys, although they are twins, are characteristically antipodes: Tina is rebellious and little studious; Nico is calm, lonely and has the obsession of video games. There is a constant war between parents and children, which reaches its peak on the day of the twins' 18th birthday, when the party at home, which had been granted to them, degenerates. Max and Anna realize they don’t know anything about those two teenagers, they wonder where they went wrong and think back with nostalgia to the times when Tina and Nico were adorable wrens to protect. But do they really remember what happened? At the end of that disastrous evening, there is a second chance for Anna and Max, to see clearly in the relationship with their children and try, where possible, not to repeat the same mistakes.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
