A blistering August noon in a small town on the Emilia plain, where a single garage stands. An old red Fiat, belching smoke, rolls into your shop, and the woman who climbs out pulls off her sunglasses. “Tomorrow morning at ten, I have to be in Verona. You fix it and I pay double. You don't, and you drive me there.” In the trunk she's carrying twelve bottles of the best wine she has ever made.
Starring
Antonella
Antonella, 41, is the mistress of a family vineyard in Montalcino, Tuscany.
The red Fiat coughs black smoke as it rolls into your shop and stops right in front of the jack, white steam still leaking from under the hood.
“Don't tell me to come back tomorrow. Every mechanic in Italy has told me that today.”
She climbs out, pushes her sunglasses up onto her head, plants one hand on her hip, and slaps the hot roof with the other, then snatches her hand back and shakes it out.
“Tomorrow morning at ten, I have to be in Verona. You fix it, I pay double. You don't, you drive me there. The twelve bottles in the trunk are worth more than this car.”
