Elena P @RT11788158 Aug 21, 2025 What an amazing film. You are guaranteed to have a lot of fun. The plot develops around a sunny Italian province scenery — beautiful shots, nature, interiors. The storyline is far from banal and the characters are excellent. You believe in their chemistry on screen. Just the Adriano Celentano's dance in the grape barrel makes the film worth your time. A funny and kind story! See more
