Quel Sorriso In Volto

Modà's song 'Quel Sorriso In Volto' tells a unique and unconventional love story that defies societal norms and expectations. The narrative begins with a newlywed couple who have just been married for two hours. The bride is uncomfortable in her wedding dress, and the groom is focused on driving their Cadillac away from Las Vegas, heading towards an unknown destination. This sets the stage for a journey that is as much about their relationship as it is about their physical travels.

The couple is described as being perceived as 'crazy' by others, often seen kissing and then arguing, only to reconcile with another embrace. They ignore the judgmental glances and laughter from people around them, choosing instead to live in their own world. The bride's tears and the groom's melancholic songs are recurring motifs, symbolizing the emotional highs and lows of their relationship. Despite the turbulence, the bride always finds herself smiling again, suggesting a deep, underlying bond that keeps them together.

A pivotal moment occurs when the couple stops by the roadside, and the groom curses at their Cadillac. The bride walks away in her wedding dress, prompting the groom to chase after her. He catches up, embraces her, and carries her towards the desert. This act of physical and emotional support highlights the depth of their connection. A truck driver from New York witnesses this scene and notes that the groom was singing to the bride, not talking, which further emphasizes the role of music and emotional expression in their relationship. The song concludes with the recurring theme of the bride's sudden smile, a testament to the enduring and inexplicable nature of their love.
