IT'S A SCREENPLAY!

This is not a novel based on the movie. It seems none of the previous reviewers understand they are reading a screenplay---an excellent screenplay.

Beautiful, absolutely touching

This movie is unbelievably bello, carino, it is beautiful. The story is touching, the landscape is like candy, and the ending is beautiful as well. Lucy is a girl almost a woman, who is searching for her the answer to an intriguing passage she found in her mother's diary. She is also searching for the boy, now almost a man also, who she kissed the last time she visited the breathtaking Italian villa four years past. This movie will leave you feeling like you have just witnessed a moment of beauty so strong and so intense that you will feel changed.
