The difference: A cross-country search for home, no illness, no pharma backdrop

A quest for love that starts light and turns into something sincere
The difference: A breezy Italian travelogue with none of the illness or grit

A plainspoken charmer wins someone over through unlikely persistence
The difference: A gentle Italian fable, decades removed from pharma-rep cynicism

A new love arrives tangled up with loss and a body running out of time
The difference: Centers on a father's late-life coming out, not a couple's courtship

A charming player has to unlearn his own habits to let someone in
