HELLO BEAUTIFUL

Les quatre filles Padavano sèment le chaos dans leur quartier italo-américain. William Waters a grandi dans une maison où ses parents pouvaient à peine supporter de le regarder, et encore moins de l'aimer. Aussi, lorsqu'il rencontre la fougueuse et ambitieuse Julia Padavano, c'est comme si le monde s'était illuminé autour de lui.

Best friends and sisters, the four Padavano girls bring loving chaos to their close-knit Italian American neighbourhood. William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him. So, when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano, it's as if the world has lit up around him.

With Julia comes her family: Sylvie, the family's dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all. But when darkness from William's past begins to block the light of his future, it is Sylvie, not Julia, who becomes his closest confidante. The result is a catastrophic rift that leaves the family inhabiting two sides of a fault line.
