Liara and her fiancé are set to get married and honeymoon in Italy — but just before the trip, he suddenly announces they should take a break and that he’s going to Thailand alone for a month. Encouraged by her mother, Liara decides to go to Italy on her own. Her parents got engaged there, at a particular house her father had always dreamed of buying. While exploring Rome, Liara ends up — by chance — in the same small village where her parents got engaged. There, she discovers that the very house her father once loved is now for sale… for one euro. On a whim, she buys it, plunging headfirst into a renovation project like no other. Thankfully, she finds help in Leo, an American living in the village.
A very good romantic film set in a romanticised version of Italy. The storyline is well-crafted, and it manages to do without the usual contrived misunderstanding that so often crops up — and irritates — in this type of film. A true feel-good experience.
