CinemaSerf7 Jan 17, 2025"Celestino" (Rocco Papaleo) isn't having a good day. Nobody can understand his thick accent and he's stuck on the toilet shouting for more Andrex! Indeed, he seems to speak in a tongue that nobody understands and he struggles with them too. Then a deaf lady "Rosina" (Rosa Masciopinto) arrives at their café and the unwitting staff babble on at her unawares that she hasn't a clue what they are saying either. Maybe she and he could use this mutual language barrier to establish a rapport? Amidst the bustle of their hectic café, he sets about learning to sign! There's an important message here about the assumptions we all make when communication is easy and about how quickly we give up when it becomes more of an effort, but it is delivered - thanks largely to a jolly score - in a convivial and entertaining fashion. The facial expressions from "Celestino" are fun to watch and who doesn't like an heart-shaped box of chocolates? The denouement also comes from quite far left field and is completely, and enjoyably, unexpected!
