Elena and Antonio seem not to be made for each other. They are too different in terms of character, life choices, worldview, and the way they relate to others. However, they are overwhelmed by a mutual attraction they’re trying hard to avoid; but to which they succumb to. Everyone will have to deal with the unexpected in a sudden storm of passion that changes all the rules of the game of their complex web of relationships between Antonio, Elena, Giorgio (Elena’s fiancé) and Silvia (Antonio’s fiancé).
