Can Kevin Bacon true a wheel using an Eiffel Tower model as a wheelstand and a tuning fork as a tension meter? I think not.

I don't mean to thread-jack, but this thread doesn't seem to have very much direction in the first place... so...
A week or two ago I saw the Triplets of Bellville on DVD (loved it). One thing confused me, though: was the grandmother Portuguese? I sortof assumed from the beginning that they were French, but when she plays the piano at the triplets' apartment I believe she sings in Portuguese.

If at the door someone knocks with humility, come to sit at the table with us..."
