Jealousy, temptation, and a magic elixir prove that true love will find a way!
Lovestruck Nemorino is head-over-heels for the beautiful farm owner Adina, but she has her eyes set on a dashing young Sergeant. When a traveling peddler of cure-all tonics rolls into town with a bottle of miracles, Nemorino buys a potion that he believes will win the girl of his dreams. But will his liquid courage work? This charming romantic comedy is a delight from the first sip to the last.
