Yes, Nancy Kulik, an Italian-American idolizes Sophia Loren, but not in a nutty way, and not because she has no life of her own. Mrs. Kulik actually has had a very busy, fulfilling life, complete with an important job, a loving husband, four kids and grandchildren. Through it all, though, she would ask herself what Sophia Loren would do in certain situations she encountered. Later in the film, she gets to meet Sophia Loren, too, and talk to her about their lives.
This could have been a totally charming short film, with some sad moments, but it was wrecked with the showing of the gang rape scene from the movie "Two Women". Totally wrecked. I fast-forwarded through those scenes and then only had partial interest in the film until the end. Whoever decided to include that movie clip in such a warm, fun film made a big, big mistake.
