Claire Nebout and Eleonora Giovanardi in “Evelyne in the clouds”.

The Pietra di Bismantova (the unusual high and narrow rock formation of the Reggio Apennines that stands out on the horizon) would be enough to ignite the curiosity about this easy-going and surprising ecological-sentimental comedy, where the cows that escape from the stable are recovered with the helicopter the Evelyn of the title is indeed a beautiful dairy cow – and the wisdom of herbal medicine has magical nuances.

He finds out Richard, the very strict envoy of an international telephone company, determined to build a repeater right on the land of stubborn Sofiawhich hosts tourists in its farmhouse in search of peace and the beauty of nature.

Of course, Richard has already won the allegiance of many localsenticed by the gains they see, but hasn’t come to terms with a providential back block that prevents him from concluding his project and leaves Sofia time for her counter-moves.

But more than the solution to the problem, the director is interested in telling the colorful and folkloric humanity that lives at the foot of the Pietra di Bismantova, everyone in search of his own personal happiness that chance (and the magic of herbs) could help to achieve. Even in spite of the conventions.

For those who want to be surprised by an unusual comedy.
