Love & Gelato is a unique ice cream shop because it doesn’t use traditional ice cream flavors. Instead, they focus on unique combinations like pistachio and rosemary gelato. This makes for a more interesting and flavorful experience that is not found at other shops. ..
Lina’s journey of self-discovery was more of an innate adventure, rather than a strict extrinsic feeling. Her mother wanted to go to Rome and meet Howard and understand that even if you meet the right person at the wrong time, it will not end well. So Robin (from “HIMYM”) was right: timing’s a b***h. Well, here is an explainer of all the confusing plot points and the rather ambiguous ending.
What happened between Ale and Lorenzo? Did Ale cheat on Lina?
Ale didn’t cheat on Lina. He explained to her when she came back from lunch at Lorenzo’s, the girl we saw with him was an old friend. She had already made plans and Ale was too soft to cancel on her.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s film, “Lina,” does not depict the character of Lina in a negative light. In fact, it confirms that her feelings were probably genuine for him. However, incorrect timing prevents the film from achieving its full potential.
Lorenzo and Ale had a falling out over baking.
Lorenzo and Ale were great friends in middle school. One of Ale’s friends called Lorenzo’s mother an offensive and insulting word that starts with a ‘d’ and is slang for gay women. ..
Despite standing right next to him, Ale did nothing. He blankly stared at Lorenzo and this outraged him. Ale did not value his friendship with Lorenzo and instead chose not to outrage his “chic” friends group by standing up for Lorenzo’s mother.
Who is Lina’s biological father? Why did Lorenzo travel to Florence?
Howard reveals that Lina’s biological father is actually Matteo Rossi, a former faculty of photography at their university. Lina explained in the book that the encounter happened at the wrong time for her. ..
Rossi left the city and her alone to navigate the situation. Rossi is the “X” from the diaries that Lina’s mother was so fascinated about. It did seem as if Howard was the biological father but the clarification at the lunch scene.
Lorenzo, a recent graduate of the University of Florence, entered a cooking competition in Italy that was like an Italian MasterChef. He always wanted to be a chef and hence he participated in many cooking contests and his home kitchen to hone his skills. Unfortunately, he does not succeed but gets a valuable lesson to be more expressive.
Why did Lina’s mother want Lina to call Howard her “father”?
Lina’s mother describes Howard in her book as being sweet, kind, caring, and intelligent. She only realized later that she made a mistake with Rossi.
Howie was deeply in love with Lina’s mother but she did not reciprocate it and neither did he reveal it to her. And her assessment of the two men was right. When Lina showed courage to go to Florence and see her biological father, Rossi made an excuse and avoided her.
Lina stormed into his office to confront him and walk away. Howard, on the other hand, was always around Lina - he helped her to settle in, talked to her, calmed her down when she lost hope, and fulfilled his responsibilities like a true father. This is why Lina’s mother wanted Lina to call Howard her father. ..
‘Love & Gelato Ending: Who does Lina end up? What is the secret ingredient of Nonna’s gelato?
The answer to the first question is that Lina had no one to share her life with and that she chose herself. The answer to the second question is that her mother tried to tell her this in the diary.
Lina did not go to Italy to find a husband or boyfriend. She wanted to make her own path in life and not be afraid to take bold risks. In fact, Lina was actually following her mother’s footsteps; she was making new choices – her own. ..
Lina chose neither Ale nor Lorenzo, although she did maintain her loving friendship with the latter because he stuck around, just like Howard did.
Ale was too into himself and lost touch with Lina, despite being in the same town. Nonna’s gelato became a special motif in the film. What made it so good? What is the fifth ingredient that we do not know in the end? It is you, the maker of the gelato that makes it special.
If you put in enough love into your relationship, the dish can never come out wrong. Make whatever of it you please!
