Il mare e la torta

About this title

It is not inconceivable that a film about Sicily will have il mare (the sea) in its title, but why should it have la torta (the cake)? Yet this slightly cryptic title leads us straight into the world of Honetschläger. A world that is playful and cheerfully erudite and that places the so-called important and unimportant side-by-side without concern.
