Several lonely hearts in a semi-provincial suburb of a town in Denmark use a beginner's course in Italian as the platform to meet the romance of their lives. The film, which unspools the connections and family drama shared between the students, complies with several aesthetic principles of Dogme 95 movement.
The film is quiet, warm and carried by dry Nordic humour. It follows a handful of lonely people in a grey suburb who find each other more by stumbling than by design. Grief and comedy sit close together, and the handmade, unpolished look gives it something everyday and tender.
Good for you if you like ensemble stories about lonely people who find each other through small gestures and humour.
