What's the Story?

NO PLACE TO BE SINGLE is a romance about two old friends separated since they shared an idyllic childhood on a sprawling estate in Tuscany. Elise (Matilde Gioli) stayed to run the orchard and farm with permission from the owner's family. When the owner dies, Michele (Cristiano Caccamo), an heir, returns from a life in the big city to sell the land. Their natural attraction to each other is rekindled, but it's soured by his mercenary intentions. Their siblings also pair up (Sebastiano Pigazzi and Amanda Campaba), and drama engulfs the younger generation too, but sunny Tuscany and breathtaking landscapes, plus the harvest of olives and pomegranates, encourage everyone to give in to natural instincts.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

The star of No Place to Be Single is the resplendent beauty of Tuscany. So even when the key interactions between stock characters fall into predictable romantic conflict, it's hard to be mad. The plot echoes several other movies about city people who return to the bucolic country settings of their youth or must visit beautiful ancestral locations for the purposes of settling estates. They all start out hard-hearted and mercenary with plans to sell, but are seduced by the surrounding beauty and embrace the simpler, and by implication better, way of life. As with most of this genre, a romance makes the main character see the light.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about what it feels like to go home after being away for a long time. How does this movie capture that feeling?

  • The movie's themes of returning home to a simpler life and also of big-city people being more interested in making money than enjoying that simpler life have become common movie tropes. Why do you think they are popular?

  • How does the movie integrate those common themes with the romantic comedy hate-at-first-sight cliché? Does it work here? Why, or why not?
