Review :

A refreshing and sweet film

Azzurro is a touching story of a Grandfather, Guiseppe (Paolo Villaggio), who fights against significant odds to pay for the surgery that will restore his blind granddaughter's sight before his weakening heart ends his life. When Guiseppe realizes that the surgery will be impossible in his home in Italy, he and his Granddaughter, (Francesca Pipoli), leave for Switzerland, seeking the help of his former employer. In the process, he confronts and ultimately resolves matters from his secret past. On top of conveying the strong love between Guiseppe and his Granddaughter, this film presents the theme that a man can achieve those things that are most important to him. It is a refreshing film, and I definitely recommend it to viewers of all ages.
