Movie Haiku:It’s Copenhagen, so this dour collection of Danes starts out repressed & withdrawn. But they each discover a reason for joining the Italian class at the local Community Center, the language loosens their tongues, & romance blooms. A lovely way to spend a day – especially if the weather’s bad outside.
