Trivialidades:

The auditorium used for the Italian lessons also appeared in Dancer in the Dark (2000) where it was used for the rehearsals of "The Sound of Music". The auditorium lies on the other side of the road from the Zentropa studios in Avedøre, Denmark. Hence Lars Kaalund's character complaining about the auditorium being dirty because someone uses it for musical rehearsals.

Errores:

Errores Reales: When Karen turns the dial of the IV, she reduces the dose instead of increasing it.

Citas:

Olympia's Father: That sounds disgusting.

feelings protagonists

The true protagonists of this movie are not the characters, but their feelings. In particular, I admired the skills of the director in entering into the desire of the "Danish" for the warmth and liveliness that Italians exhibit. If you can not stand the the fact that the camera is constantly moving and nobody has any make up, then, do not watch it. However, you would miss a funny and heartwarming movie with no frills and enjoyable hidden messages, for example that friendship and love can bring the sun of Italy into one's heart, or that life can always take unexpected turns.
