Description
Lone Scherfig directs this Danish comedy drama starring Anders W. Berthelsen and Anette Stovelbk. Andreas *(Berthelsen) is a young clergyman newly arrived in the city of Copenhagen,* who finds himself consistently undermined by Reverend Wredman *(Brent Mejding),* a man consumed with bitterness at his daughter's suicide. Olympia *(Stovelbk) works at a bakery and cares thanklessly for her ailing and irritable father. Shy concierge Jrgen *(Peter Gantzler) is in love with an Italian waitress named Giulia *(Sara Indrio Jensen) but doesn't know how to approach her. The abrasive bar manager Hal-Finn *(Lars Kaalund),* Giulia's boss,* is sacked for being difficult with customers and is in the beginning stages of a relationship with a woman dominated by her alcoholic mother. Jrgen becomes determined to learn Italian to be able to speak to Guilia in her native tongue,* and drags the lonely Anders along. Finally,* Karen *(Ann Jorgensen),* a hairdresser who is battling with a terminally alcoholic mother also attends,* being rather taken with the hotheaded Hal-Finn who is now one of her customers. When the class teacher Marcello *(Matteo Valese) suddenly dies of a heart attack,* the class is faced with termination. But Hal-Finn,* who claims to have learned Italian when Juventus FC visited Copenhagen a few years back,* volunteers to take over the class and events in Karen and Olympia's lives soon draw the class ever-closer in strange and unforeseen ways.
