SYNOPSIS
A cosseted, unhappy housewife (Licia Maglietta) who's taken for granted by her philandering, self-centered husband (Antonio Catania) finds bella fortuna when she hitchhikes to Venice and starts to construct a brand-new life for herself. Blossoming with newfound independence, the woman begins a tentative relationship with a lonely, suicidal waiter (Bruno Ganz) that seems to bode well for both of them

Some reviewer comments:

"Wonderful, beautifully acted, amusing and sometimes poignant film. If you've been to Venice, this film will make you nostalgic because it captures the charm of the back streets, narrow passageways, and low noise volume of Venice"

"It's a movie that will leave a smile on your face!!"

"Delightful, gently humorous, warm and very human story of a middle-aged woman's discovery of herself and love"
