My Name Is Tanino
- Comedy
During a sun-soaked Sicilian summer, aimless filmmaking undergrad and back-seat radical Tanino has a fling with Sally, a dreamy American tourist from an upper background. When summer ends, Sally flies back home, without ever reaching out. Clueless, a smitten Tanino decides to pay her a surprise visit under the pretense of returning a camera she left behind. But when he gets there, he quickly realizes the reality of America—and his relationship with Sally's—is far from the idealized version his small-town boy imagination conjured.
My Name Is Tanino is a 2003 Italian comedy following a lovestruck Sicilian film student who impulsively travels to America to reconnect with a tourist he met during summer. Directed by Paolo Virzì, the film captures the culture clash and romantic misadventure that unfolds when idealized romance meets reality.
