In the beginning there was Bombolini the fool, Bombolini the drunk, Bombolini the joke. In the end there was Bombolini the mayor, Bombolini the hero, Bombolini the beautiful. In between is the secret of Santa Vittoria.
During World War II, Italian villagers hide their wine from the German army.

I loved the overall vibe of the movie ! It's a 9 for me ! I loved it so much that time passed so fast ! I loved the lively dialogues with smart and wise words, the actors (maybe Rosa was just too nervous all the time), the scenery. It was a joyride for me.
