* AnachronismStew: The movie is set in 1959, and Luca is 13 years old. The name Luca barely even existed in the Italy of the 40s or even the 50s. It has become a popular Italian name only starting in TheSixties.



** When Daniela and Lonenzo first arrive in Portorosso, Daniela claims that she'll be able to immediately recognize her son. Despite spending most of the movie fruitlessly searching for Luca, she does indeed recognize him(and he her) immediately when he finally crosses their path.

* BrickJoke: In the beginning of the movie, Luca has trouble with Giuseppe, a goatfish that keeps trying to wander off from the herd. TheStinger shows that Ugo is back in the deep talking again about the joys of being there. The scene cuts to show that he's talking to Giuseppe who likely escaped from the herd again but was taken by Ugo who mistook him for Luca. As Ugo praises his new life, Giuseppe quietly sidles off-screen to the right just as he had done earlier with Luca.

Added DiffLines:

* PrefersGoingBarefoot: Of the "Often goes without shoes, but does not mind them" variety. While both Luca and Alberto mostly go barefoot, likely because of their sea monster status, they both wear wellington boots while fishing with Massimo and Luca wears school shoes while at school during the ending credits. A few other people in the village walk around barefoot because of the closeness to the sea and the beach. It's not uncommon, during Summer in Cinque Terre, for people to briefly leave the beach and have a walk in town without footwear.
