Life's little turning points often come in the plainest forms. A casual encounter, a little oversight, a strange coincidence, a twist of fate. When a tour bus leaves without bored housewife and dutiful mother, Rosalba, during a family holiday and not even her husband or children notice until it is too late, she sees an irresistable opportunity for freedom.

Virtually penniless, Rosalba heads for Venice - Venice, the fabulous city of her dreams. Revelling in her new independence, her one-day adventure extends to a few days, then weeks. As her husband hires an amateur detective to track her down, the beauty of Venice, together with her new-found freedom, lead her to romance and self-discovery.

Bread and Tulips isn't so much about the difficult decisions we make in life, but the ones we make almost out of instinct... the wonderful, crazy spontaneity that makes us human. Everything about this film will put you in a good mood!
