What happens

Time for Loving (released in Italy as Sapore di mare) is a 1983 Italian teen romantic comedy film directed by Carlo Vanzina. It obtained a great commercial success and launched a short-living subgenre of revival-nostalgic comedy films. It also generated a sequel, Sapore di mare 2 - Un anno dopo. For her performance in this film Virna Lisi won a David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actress and a Silver Ribbon in the same category. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
