Acqua e anice is a âdance hall road movieâ about Olimpia, a legendary ballroom dancer and a fixture at local dance halls, who, at age seventy, dusts off her orchestraâs tour bus. No tour dates, this time: she is simply setting out to see her fans, her loved ones and all the places where she became a star, once again. For the occasion, Olimpia has hired a young woman, Maria, as shy and awkward as Olimpia isnât, to be her driver.
