This film is definitely worth tracking down for Italian cinema connoisseurs for two reasons:

1) it's the (rather decent) directing debut of Paolo Virzi', one of the most acclaimed Italian film makers of recent memory. 2) It's the first real breakthrough role, both critically and for the public, for Sabrina Ferilli, which was shortly to become the most beloved actress in her own country, the years to follow. Her talents here (both thespian and physical it has to be said) are well on display and really deserving of her first acting prize of her career (the Silver Ribbon).

The film itself is a humble and bitter/sweet tale set among the ordinary folks of provincial Tuscany. It involves a young married couple (Bruno and Mirella) and their 'maturation' process, through small ambitions, delusions, betrayals, hope and (possible) reconciliation, no 'big picture' no 'happy ending' here: just life.

Needlees to say that here you won't see the same Tuscany that you see in "Room with a view" or "Under the Tuscan sun", but a Tuscany as it is really seen by millions of its inhabitants, having too much trouble dealing with the mundaneness of ordinary life to care about big romantic affairs or strolling along picturesque landscapes and medieval towns.

The world might have Monica Bellucci, but Italians have preferred to keep Sabrina all for themselves............... and who can blame them?

First of all , there is no damn english subtitle for this movie. as i dont understand Spanish , its very hard to understand fully, but still i watched it.

As i watched numerous "cheating wife" movies, yeh it always ends bad like this one. but this one has something different. like they tried to give one more CHANCE to start again. So this movie gives a bit harsh reality, that no matter how hard the couple try , it will never ever work or works like before. its over 100%.
