Synopsis: Six people in a small Danish town are in such despair over their pathetic lives that their only source of happiness is the weekly Italian class in which they are all enrolled. Included in this comedic circle is Andreas (a minister whose wife has recently died) who, during his stay in a local hotel, meets a lonely concierge who has a crush on an Italian waitress. The waitress, meanwhile, is dealing with her rude and aggressive boss. Finally, there are two women in the class (both carerstakers for their elderly parents) who are having difficulties with their bad-tempered relatives. Amidst all the commotion, these students manage to find a little bit of romance as they study the language of love.
