The Legendary Giulia and Other Miracles

In a sun‑kissed stretch of the Italian countryside, a group of strangers converges on a modest farmhouse that seems just out of reach. United by a yearning to escape the weight of their current lives, they see the dilapidated property as a canvas for a new beginning—a bed and breakfast that could offer both sanctuary and purpose. The rural setting, with its rolling hills and quiet villages, provides a backdrop where hope can be cultivated as carefully as the vines that dot the landscape.

Diego arrives from the bustling streets of Turin, a car salesman whose grief over his father’s death fuels a desire for change. Fausto hails from Rome, a television dealer whose mounting debts have left him searching for redemption. Claudio, also Roman, has just watched his family’s centuries‑old grocery store crumble, and his looming divorce adds urgency to the pursuit of something steadier. Their circle widens when Sergio, a creditor with a fierce political streak, steps in, driven by his own convictions. Soon, Elisa, a young pregnant woman, joins to lend a hand with cooking and cleaning, while Abu, a Ghanaian laborer, brings practical know‑how and a quiet determination to the effort.

The chemistry among the six is a blend of tentative trust, reluctant mentorship, and shared laughter that softens the edges of their personal turmoil. Their collective skill set—salesmanship, technical know‑how, culinary talent, and hands‑on labor—creates a lively, improvisational rhythm as they transform the property. Beneath the hopeful bustle, an undercurrent of tension lingers, hinted at by the murmurs of the local community and the inevitable presence of the region’s shadowy figures who watch any new venture with wary eyes.

The film balances warm, earthy visuals with a tone that oscillates between earnest drama and gentle humor, inviting viewers to root for the unlikely entrepreneurs while sensing that the path to their dream may be more treacherous than the winding country roads that lead to the farmhouse.
