Filmed mostly in Italy, "Ciao America" is the story of Lorenzo Primavera, an unsettled third-generation Italian-American whose search for his place in the world leads him back to the land of his ancestors. In the small town of Ferrara, Italy, Lorenzo finds work coaching American-style football in the fledgling Italian Football League. It's a league where everyone can kick but no one can catch. While coaching, Lorenzo falls in love with Paola Angelini, a headstrong young music student who forces him to face the same decision that his immigrant grandfather did 70 years earlier.
