## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A suburban Danish town’s most romantically challenged residents enroll in an Italian class more for the teacher than the language. They stumble through conjugations while their real homework involves messy affairs, parental disappointments, and one particularly confused paramedic. The film’s Dogme 95 trappings occasionally feel like a student project that forgot its own rules.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cozy, tender
