I really loved this film. Did such a great job at representing micro aggressions of misogyny specifically in romantic relationships with men in a way that was so devastating, "subtle", and relatable.

This portrait of a couple who don't quite mesh feels real enough that the cringey bits are quite uncomfortable.
Chris and Gitti have clearly not been dating for all that long, and they're not perfectly matched, but they're really trying to make it work in their own ways, while contemplating whether or not to change to fit into each other's lives as best they can. The suspense in the film is whether they can reveal enough of themselves to the other before they lose patience; neither one of them has a terribly long fuse.
The Sardinian vacation house they've rented is a little too cramped, a little too close to neighbors Chris doesn't want to talk to, not quite secluded enough, for them to completely relax. Chris is a deeply anxious architect waiting on a client, and Gitti is a freer spirit, a record label liaison by trade, who tries to pull Chris out of his funk. Quite often, they talk across each other, unable to say what they really mean. And when they finally start getting to know the neighbors, Hans (an old schoolmate & colleague of Chris', who Chris really wants to impress) and his elegant, pregnant wife Sana (a fashion designer), there's then four people who barely know how to talk with each other. That's when the meanness ratchets up. Gitti & Chris are still learning how to be grownups, and their petulance is often genuinely damaging.
Birgit Minichmayr is the light of this film, an especially vulnerable and slightly needy spirit looking to connect fully with a perpetually cranky, nervous boyfriend. They're both looking for a way to love each other, even though they don't fully understand each other. (I just wish any of them knew how to properly open a bottle of champagne.)
And the ending is perfect. Hope lasts as long as you both want to keep trying.
