Director: Lone Scherfig

Year: 2000

A young minister, a widower, is temporarily assigned to a church; he stays at a hotel where he meets Jørgen. Jørgen's friend Finn, a temperamental restaurant manager, may be about to be fired. Finn's assistant is Giulia, a lovely young Italian who prays for a husband. Olympia is a clumsy bakery clerk, while Karen is a hairdresser—they are sisters who have been separated for many years. Several lonely hearts in a suburb of a town in Denmark use a beginner's course in Italian offered at a local night school as the platform to meet the romance of their lives.
