“Sometimes a banana is just a banana!”

Dante Ceccarini (Roberto Benigni) drives a school bus for children with disabilities in a small Italian town, and he is the sort of man who has never noticed a thing about the world beyond it. Then Maria (Nicoletta Braschi) nearly runs him over with her car, takes a sudden shine to him, and invites him to her grand villa in Palermo. Roberto Benigni plays Dante with wide, startled eyes, and the whole film sits on his face as he sits at her table.
