Ageing patriarch, Franco Cozzo, holds court over an iconic furniture empire. A pioneer of Australian TV advertising, Franco's tri-lingual catchphrase sparked a cult-of-personality as kitsch as his baroque bedheads. But his character is more than caricature. Franco's journey from rural Sicily to the high streets of Melbourne is a story of one migrant's tenacity and aspiration to become a household name. With ten children and a cult-status to maintain, he's a busy octogenarian. Discreetly, his furniture tells its own story, gracing the homes of a migrant class that has been evolving since the post-war era. But what will Franco do when the world, and his immigrant clientele, begin to change around him?
