Giuseppina is bored with life at her father's rural Italian garage. Here, in Part 2, there is a village wedding that doesn't start-off too well, plus the arrival of a very 'stiff upper lip' English family.
If you haven't already seen Parts 1 and 3, they're worth watching too. Short film making at its best.

I can believe a spot of afternoon tea while the car gets fixed, but a proper teapot and the milk in a jug? That's a bit too posh for me.
We use the dreaded Thermos, but the tea/coffee always tastes strange.
Mum, Dad and I used to go for wonderful picnics. Dad always organised them, my favourites were when he'd take a small camping stove, a frying pan, a bit of lard wrapped in greaseproof paper, a pack of bacon, some eggs and ready buttered sliced bread.
Their coffee would be in a Thermos, I have always chosen to drink just cold water.
Dad would set up his stove, and make bacon and egg sandwiches for our lunch, it is one of my happiest childhood memories!
That sounds wonderfully 'old fashioned'. I don't suppose many people do that these days; they go to McD's instead. I hope your dad had a Morris Estate like the one in the film!!
Charming in its innocence - as if from another world... and my first car was a Morris 1000 Traveller. Thanks for sharing.
Part 3 is fun, when Giuseppina dances with a passing client.
A delightful film. Tea in a thermos must be a British thing. My husband's late Aunt Gladys always had tea in a thermos for long trips in the car.
We still do; it's not very nice.
When we were young we had a car just like that...Mom was the driver and when she took us over Horseshoe Pass it was the only time that us 4 kids in the back were quiet!
The 'Traveller' was occasionally known as the Mock Tudor Morris. My mother had a Mock Tudor Mini for a while, with the same type of woodwork. It was a lovely idea.
Dad didn't have a Moggy Traveller, but my primary school headmistress had one, and I've wanted one ever since. We quite frequently see one locally, it's been rebuilt from scratch, and obviously seriously strengthened as it now has an obviously powerful engine and goes like the wind! It's been sprayed gloss black, and has a red leather interior, it's truly lovely!
Dad drove a Vauxhall Victor VX4/90 at that time!
