A young woman who is living in England is sent to visit her grandfather in Italy. There she finds him wanting to do little more then search of truffles with his dog, while also bemoaning the changing nature of the world around him.
This is a small gem of a film. I don't want to over sell it so I won't say a great deal, but this is a lovely little film. Building slowly and quietly the film seems to be taking some expected routes, however it quickly becomes clear that how this is going to play out and how the characters interact is not going to be as we expect. I quickly went to enjoying the scenery but being slightly dismissive, to really enjoying the characters and wondering where it was going to go.
While this isn't the heaviest of tales, it is deeply affecting and it packs quite a punch.
Recommended.
