Academy Award® nominees Andy Garcia (Ocean’s 11, City Island) and Vera Farmiga (A&E’s “Bates Motel”, Up in the Air) star as straight-laced George and eccentric Edith, two strangers who meet on their children’s campus tour at the idyllic Middleton College.  Failing comically to connect with their kids, George and Edith play hooky together, ditching the official tour for a carefree adventure reminiscent of their own college years.  But what begins as an afternoon of fun soon becomes a revealing and enlightening experience that will change their lives forever.  Taissa Farmiga (“American Horror Story”), Spencer Lofranco (Jamesy Boy), Peter Riegert (“Dads”), and Tom Skerritt (“Picket Fences”) also star in this story about what can happen on your first day of college.

Definitely this movie has a good eye for visual composition. Both characters make the fictive Middleton in a very pleasant place in which timelessness of youth is a great element in this story. Although there are some depressing facts of life in George and Edith, together are perfectly counterbalanced with humor and heart, with good feelings and celebrates all the different life stages full of hope and new phases. In few words you have to live one but with happiness and less fatalities.

During a press conference Andy Garcia (George) said: “I have been working with Arturo Sandoval since many years ago and his music was great when he came to help us for this movie and I didn’t play anything for the movie, he did everything with different instruments such as sax, piano, he is a genius.”

Vera Farmiga (Edith):”I worked with my sister, she has 21 years old between us and she actually has not preparation for this but I want her for this role and Andy asked me for any suggestions for Taissa’s role and she got a lot of attention in her career and the results of her performance in the film were that she took a risk and definitely she is my baby sister but I understand that her whole name confuses and most of you think that she is my daughter and I’m very motherly certainly  and is very relevant that she is capable and has certain motion and charming for this role and she got it for her talent because she is a fine actress. My role was excited with her behave and she was turning 18 with a real growing even flirty with George.”
