This film is inspired by a true story.
The film serves up the origin story as a very palatable meal. If you love Italian food, you’ll love this one.

The film, La Dolce Villa (2025), uses a similar theme of recruiting Nonnas to work in the kitchen of a cooking school, but this one is based in Italy.
