Synopsis
Based on an Italian folktale, The Bread, the Bracelet and the Dove centers around what Italians love best: food and family. Amid an array of colorful, quirky, emotional characters, two children save a magical dove and learn up close and personal about the meaning of famiglia. Set in a lively marketplace in Renaissance Italy, the fast-paced action combines moments of both great silliness and sweetness.
