No, I haven’t started writing my blogs in Italian, although perhaps it would be good practice for me, instead I wanted to share something special you might not otherwise get a chance to know about. It’s perfect for snuggling up on a grey, cold, rainy, and wintery Sunday.
Tre metri sopra il cielo is in Italian book and also film for Italian teenage girls that I fell head over heels with when I lived in Italy. It means three steps above heaven. It’s a love story about a girl who falls for a guy who her parents don’t approve of, and is set in Rome. I love the story of Step, and his love for Babi, although I think it gives me an unrealistic expectation of future relationships….but that’s a whole other blog post!!
Perhaps the best part of the film in particular is Step, played by Riccardo Scamarcio. A few words to describe him: brooding, beautiful, and smouldering. If you thank me for one thing, let it be introducing you to Riccardo. You can thank me later.
Another thing I love about the film is one of the songs in it, I almost considered doing it as a magic song post.
