Italian For Beginners is a modern classic – a funny, bitter-sweet romantic comedy about six insecure, single and vulnerable people whose lives interweave one bleak Copenhagen winter when each signs up for an evening class in Italian. Soon after arriving in a small grey suburb, Andreas, a young sensitive minister, is persuaded to sign up for Italian lessons. Upon his arrival, each of the lonely characters makes a major decision that will change the course of their life. They find love and a happy solution to their unhappy situations.

From veteran director Lone Scherfig, who more recently directed Oscar-nominated An Education with Carey Mulligan and One Day with Anne Hathaway.
