Plot
An American businessman returns to Italy for the first time in four decades, only to discover that an old girlfriend of his, along with her brother, have involved him in a massive hoax.
Sinekatalog’s take
An Italian tragicomedy about an American businessman returning after forty years and meeting a former love and her brother. Bittersweet and humane, it leans on its two leads. Rewarding for fans of Italian character comedy with a melancholy core.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
