    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Near the end, when Levante and Caterina walks during the night, it is discovered that both love "bruschetta" and Levante says that in Spain are called "Las Fettuntas". This is a joke related to the fact that most Italians try to speak Spanish just adding an "s" to every word and the fact that in the Tuscan dialect the "bruschetta" are called "fettunta".
    • Goofs
      In the Italian original version, almost all Spanish characters (flamenco dancers), when speaking in Spanish, make a lot of mistakes, showing clearly that they are not at all native speakers (although they are supposed not to speak Italian either). The accent is more or less correct, but it all sounds strange and disturbing to a native speaker.

    Why I like foreign movies
    Thus movie is a very light romantic comedy, that has a good story. It transports you to that little town and even helps you relate with every character in the movie. I just loved it. It also shows how even a small thing ( the broken sign) can affect the lives of so many people. US movies don't take risks and are very shallow
