Amalfi is a town in a dramatic natural setting below steep cliffs on Italy’s southwest coast. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, it was the seat of a powerful maritime republic. The Arab-Norman Sant'Andrea cathedral at the heart of town, with its striped Byzantine facade, survives from this era. The Museo Arsenale Amalfi is a medieval shipyard-turned-exhibition space.
Berlin, Germany’s capital, dates to the 13th century. Reminders of the city's turbulent 20th-century history include its Holocaust memorial and the Berlin Wall's graffitied remains. Divided during the Cold War, its 18th-century Brandenburg Gate has become a symbol of reunification. The city's also known for its art scene and modern landmarks like the gold-colored, swoop-roofed Berliner Philharmonie, built in 1963.

Sorrento is a coastal town in southwestern Italy, facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its busy marinas, it’s known for sweeping water views and Piazza Tasso, a cafe-lined square. The historic center is a warren of narrow alleys that's home to the Chiesa di San Francesco, a 14th-century church with a tranquil cloister.
Das schönste Geschenk meines Lebens (2003)
Interior designer Barbara Seeberg simply takes care of everything: her unreliable husband Johannes, her dependent, adult daughters Amelie and Freddy, her discerning mother, her little granddaughter, the household and her business. She hardly ever cares about herself. That changes when Barbara, in the middle of preparations for her 50th birthday, discovers that her husband is cheating on her - as so often before. But this time she will pay her husband back with the same coin. In a mixture of anger, sadness and a thirst for adventure, Barbara asks the likeable kiosk owner Enrico Aleramo to accompany her on a short vacation and escapes with him to the idyllic Amalfi coast. But Enrico's happy, noisy extended family is already waiting for them at the port. At first, Barbara is anything but happy about this unexpected reception committee. Despite the family "siege", Barbara begins to fall in love with Enrico. For the first time she experiences that someone takes care of her. Enrico, who has adored Barbara for a long time, and the flair of the Italian summer in Enrico's old family villa enchants her. The tender togetherness is suddenly disrupted: The female part of Barbara's family suddenly stands with bag and bag in front of the door of Enrico's property in need of renovation to celebrate her 50th birthday. In shock, Barbara introduces Enrico to lover as her "gardener". Offended, he flirts unrestrainedly with Barbara's pretty daughters and, with his charm, wraps the nagging grandmother around her finger. Barbara observes this disgruntled. She had imagined her birthday to be a little different. While Enrico's debt-ridden family believes that Barbara is the long-awaited buyer of their property, Barbara's relatives of course immediately sense an outright intrigue: Does the shrewd Italian Casanova only want to exempt Barbara? Barbara's flight to Italy unexpectedly sets off a loud German-Italian family row.
