It is a performances centric movie

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This movie talk about a story of a teacher that teach Italian to a group of immigrants. All the people in the movie are so real, and that is marked when all the troupe of the movie appear in the field and take part in the story. The little stories of the immigrants cross(breed) one in the other in a wonderful way, and can give you a conscious point of view of the immigrants situation in Italy. The meaning actor Valerio Mastrandrea, had proved an extremely social and a human maturity, with his performance. Gaglianone, the movie director had say that "just him" could deal with that heavy arguments with this light sensibility. So enjoy the movie.
