The Italian anthology film Manuale d'amore 2: Capitoli successivi (2007) contains four romantic stories, numerous warm insights into the human heart, and some extremely spicy female cast members. In the first tale, Nicola (Riccardo Scarmacio), who was recently paralyzed in an automobile accident, falls hard for his physical therapist, Lucia. This is most understandable as Lucia is portrayed by mesmerizing Monica Bellucci. Next up, childless couple Franco (Fabio Volo) and Manuela (Barbora Bobulova) travel to Barcelona to visit a fertility specialist. After that, two gay lovers, Filippo (Antonio Albanese) and Fosco (Sergio Rubini), attempt to get married. And finally, new restaurant employee Cecilia (Elsa Pataky) turns to owner Ernesto (Carlo Verdone) for lessons in cuisine—and life.
