Sophie’s fiance, Viktor (Gael Garcia Bernal), is about to open an Italian restaurant in downtown New York. To celebrate, the two go on a “pre-honeymoon” to Verona, Italy. Sadly for Sophie, Viktor seems too preoccupied in finding the best wines and cheeses for his restaurant, he hardly has time for her.
