Under the Tuscan Sun

Frances, 35, once a brilliant college professor and poet, now faces the double whammy of a failed marriage and depletion of inspiration. A friend, Patty, arranged for her a trip to Tuscany, in the heart of Italy, in the hope that she could rekindle her passion in life.
Heeding the call of her heart, she bought an abandoned villa full of ivy in a small town full of sunshine. So, I got to know the enthusiastic broker family, the decoration team of Polish immigrants, the crazy woman who used to be an actor, and the handsome Marcello. Friendship, love, laughter, trust, all seem to be back.
Before long, Patty showed up, pregnant. It turned out that she had broken up with her boyfriend who did not want to be a father. To take care of her, Frances misses an appointment with Marcello. When the child was born and the antique lamps were sent, Frances, who felt that all the busyness had come to an end, decided to rush to the seaside town to surprise Marcelo. However, unfortunately, he already has a new girlfriend.
Frances is very sad. However, the Polish boy who helped the renovation team married his beloved Tuscan girl. At the wedding, she realizes that her wish has been fulfilled - a grand wedding in the courtyard, with her own family (Patty and her children). A little tired, a little satisfied, a little disappointed, Frances leaned back on the recliner. At this moment, a man's voice sounded...
Happiness, appeared again.
A romantic small town, warm sunshine, Italians who enjoy and love life, plus Diane Lane's natural and honest performance. Everything is perfect.
There is a saying, as a narration or dialogue, that appears many times -
"Between Austria and Italy, there is the Simerin Mountain, which belongs to the Alps, is the highest peak of the whole mountain range, and is famous for its steepness. Tracks were built between the Moline Mountains, which crossed the Alps and connected Vienna and Venice. You know, people built these tracks before the invention of the train. They believed that someday, these tracks would be passable. They never doubted that the day the train was born would come."
That's right. That's it. Before the bright future is approaching, all we need to do is to prepare, including beliefs, including actions, including love and hope.
