The Italian Key is the first feature film from writer/director Rosa Karo, and it tells the story of an orphan girl who inherits a key that unlocks a fantastical villa in Italy (hence the title) and, wait for it, her family history as well.
The romance looks like it was stamped on the front of a postcard, but the trailer doesn’t deliver much of a hint as to its substance. The tone seems to fit perfectly with tinkling piano keys, but it also has a hint of brightness to it. What does that mean? That it’s got potential.
Regardless of what it might hold on the inside, it’s definitely got a pretty package.
