Movies @ The Library - Made in Italy

A heart-warming comedy set in glorious Tuscany, starring Liam Neeson as Robert, a charming artist who returns to Italy with his estranged son Jack (Neeson’s real-life son Micheál Richardson) to sell a house they inherited from his late wife. However, they are shocked to find the once glorious villa dilapidated and in a state of disrepair. Renovations go badly, and father and son find themselves at odds once again. Robert’s comical lack of DIY experience leads him to seek help from some colourful locals, but for Jack, the state of the house seems to mirror his search for memories of happier times with his mother. Jack’s heart opens up when he meets Natalia, a vivacious Italian chef who restores both body and soul with delights from her local trattoria. As Robert and Jack painstakingly restore the villa to its previous glory, they begin to repair their bond and imagine a different future.

The general feeling is that we may have jinxed it when we turned the upstairs study space door back to manual open last week. 🧐

Not the start to Monday we were hoping for!

Wednesday Word of the Day - tilde
noun | TIL-duh

Tilde refers to the mark ~ placed especially over the letter n (as in the Spanish señor, meaning "sir") to denote the sound \nʸ\, or over vowels (as in the Portuguese irmã, meaning "sister") to indicate nasality. When a tilde appears as an independent character, it usually means "approximately" (as in "we'll be there in ~ 30 minutes"). - Merriam-Webster Dictionary
