In the spirit of some of the best family dramas of our time comes The Amati Girls, a warm, emotional story centered around four sisters and the relationship they share with their recently widowed mother. While trying to help her cope, each of the sisters begins to understand what is missing in their own lives and relationships, and the lessons they learn affect the entire family.
Difficult times test the values of the family, and dissenting points of view create rifts between individuals. Through good times and bad, the sisters come to rely upon each other as never before. And when tragedy strikes, the family members turn to each other for comfort and support.
The Amati Girls is the kind of slice-of-life movie that audiences can relate to and enjoy. It examines issues of love, marriage, parenting and faith through an entertaining and engaging story. (Taken from www.theamatigirls.com.)

She has muddled through life from whim to whim and, recently back home from Rome where she was studying sculpture, she has decided to take another stab at a singing career...despite a lack of talent. New beau Lawrence is ready for a commitment but Denise isn't sure she can handle it. When Lawrence confesses that he doesn't think Denise has what it takes to make it as a singer, the relationship almost heads south. But some soul searching makes Denise realize it just may be time to settle down.
