Tulipani: Liefde, eer en een fiets

Tulipani (Tulips) is the type of fun movie that has everything in it: comedy, love, action, and death. And the way it unfolds will also make you excited and feel good that you chose to watch it, starting with the aftermath of a flood and war in Holland as the story moves to Italy as one man decides to build a home and a farm before he can invite his lover to stay with him. The comedy drama gives you a lot of hope if you are in a state of despair while watching it, thanks to the exotic and lively locales of Puglia in Italy. The opera music just complements the show and is bound to bring a smile to your face even as the third act turns a bit sorrowful. It is the type of film that makes you want to buy a bouquet of tulips, give it to your loved one, and tell them that you love them the moment you get out of the hall. TN.
