All This Talk of Love follows an average seeming Italian-American family, the Grassos. It goes through several years from the perspectives of the parents, Antonio and Maddalena, and their two grown children, Prima and Frankie.
Like any family, the Grassos have secrets, but they try to remain as close as possible, despite their differences. It was interesting to see the different ways the two generations viewed their responsibilities in life, with Antonio and Maddalena trying to keep all the traditions of their home country while their children grew up entirely in the United States. In the meantime, Prima and Frankie both take their own paths Prima tries to instill the respect and values of the old country in her children; Frankie tries to get away from the constraints of the family while being pulled back into their lives by his sheer love and loyalty.
