During which time of the year are we most likely to fall in love with someone: winter or summer? That is a good conversation starter when the question is posed directly, eye to eye, an almost infallible approach. And when a girl dances freely at a party, letting herself be carried away by the rhythm of the music, with no need for smoking or drinking? Is she the one? Ava, in Hebrew “ahva”, which means love. He, Isaac, which also in Hebrew means he who makes laugh. He uses a second strategy, inevitably, since she does not fall for the first approach: he suddenly leaves wearing her coat. He is huge, the coat looks ridiculous on him. How would it be possible not to laugh at such a figure? Ava happens, they fall in love, but she must leave. The first resolution, taken as such, in their lives is a ten-day trip to Brazil’s Carnival. Then, life is suspended for ten days, or maybe not. But “A Questo Punto” is also another encounter, the romance between light Italian music, voiced by Ornella Vanoni, one of its great performers, and Brazilian music, Toquinho’s bossa nova. (MM)
