A glossy romantic comedy filled with sun-soaked scenery, family chaos and plenty of Italian charm.

After the death of her mother, Anna (Maia Reficco) finds herself drifting through life, abandoning culinary school and taking temporary jobs as a housesitter. A chance meeting with Matteo unexpectedly sends her to Tuscany, where a misunderstanding leads his lively family to believe she is his fiancée. Welcomed into their world of restaurants, vineyards and long family meals, Anna soon forms a connection with Matteo’s charming cousin Michael (Michele Morrone), complicating matters further.

Director Kat Coiro leans fully into the genre’s pleasures, balancing romance, comedy and picturesque escapism with an easygoing touch. The story follows familiar beats, but the Tuscan backdrop, warm ensemble cast and steady stream of food and wine keep everything light and entertaining. Family tensions, old rivalries and unexpected attractions all bubble away beneath the postcard-perfect surface.

The supporting cast adds much of the film’s warmth, grounding the romance in affectionate family dynamics and generational humour. Easy to sink into, it’s an upbeat feel-good romance about fresh starts, unexpected connections and finding somewhere you belong
