Nur ein Lächeln

Just a Smile

You look at me smiling, Eleonore, and you look at yourself and smile again. (J. W. Goethe)

When Giuseppe the shy pizza baker is kneading his dough for the day, he looks out of the window of his small, shabby pizzeria. While outside life is going on, he spends most of his time on his own. One day he looks at the lovely smile of the most beautiful woman he ever set his eyes on. At first completely paralysed, he manages to smile back timidly. Work is much easier afterwards. From this day on, Giuseppe waits for the beautiful woman every day at the same time. He waits for a smile which is only for him. But one day he has to find out that this smile is a very special one.
