How accurate is that? She can't be over 50 in the film and she goes to Italy and buys a villa (which I'm sure you can do) but then she stays there and she never goes back to the USA. I have not found anywhere in the world that you can just go to and stay indefinitely, it's always like 90 days max unless you have a visa, and she didn't have a workers visa or anything. So how is something like this possible or is it pure theatrics, because I read that it was based off of a book where a woman actually did this, but I don't know how old the woman was, but either way, even if she was of retirement age, wouldn't she have to come back to the US at least ever 6 months? I mean, I know that it could have been just for the sake of telling the story without interrupting to go back and forth to the US, but I'd like to know if it's accurate. Can you do that the same way she did it somehow? After all she does say in the film, "I can't go back to San Francisco". Thank you.
But often in movies, they don't show the whole process of getting a visa. Why would you want to see this? It's boring and long winded and unnecessary.
There are some other things to keep in mind. If she has nationality of an EU country, she can move and live freely within the EU, which Italy is a member of.
