Mamma Mia!
One wedding. Three possible fathers.
A whole lot of ABBA.
On a Greek island, Sophie secretly invites three men from her mother’s past to her wedding, hoping to discover her father. As Donna confronts their unexpected reunion, ABBA’s songs turn a family mystery into a joyful celebration of love and friendship.
