Davide and Teresa have been dreaming away from their village for a long time, away from the predetermined paths. But one day in 1942, Nicolas, a Jewish boy from Naples who has been forcibly resettled, suddenly appears in her life. It will be the summer of her life. Until the war reaches their village - and tears the tender bonds between the three young people. They lose sight of each other, but never completely out of mind. Years later, there is a reunion, and everything is familiar and yet confusingly different.
