Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This comedy is in the Italian language. In Italy, shoe salesman Rossario runs the risk of being killed by outraged relatives if he has a brief affair with an unmarried woman, or by outraged husbands if he has an affair with a married woman. So when Rossario gets an opportunity to do his job in Copenhagen, where everything is legal (and reasonably non-fatal), he jumps at the chance. On arrival, he is shown gawking at the huge variety of sexual opportunities Danes take for granted. Eventually he falls for a lovely young Danish woman, and they get married. Things get tense for a while when he discovers that she is a famous porn film star, but he gets into the swing of things by the end of the movie.
