This is a beautifully written, directed and acted romantic film. I'm surprised by the relatively little critics recognition. Yes it is, at times, over dramatised and not particularly original but it is over all fully enjoyable. In my opinion the quality of this film is mainly due to the sensational and charismatic Elio Germano. Reminiscent of a young Taxi Driver Robert De Niro, he is one of the best European actors of this generation.
