Part of the U-M Mavericks and Makers Symposium!Household Saints is a leisurely-paced portrait of three different generations of working-class, New York-based, Italian women. Carmela Santangelo (JUDITH MALINA) is an elderly immigrant whose son (VINCENT D'ONOFRIO) wins a wife, Catherine Falconetti (TRACEY ULLMAN), during a pinochle game. The pair have a daughter, Teresa (LILI TAYLOR), who becomes obsessed with religion, eventually believing that she will become the bride of Christ.
