Giovanna is a young wife and mother of two. Her husband, Filippo, is a good man, but saddled with a poor-paying night shift, and Giovanna supplements her own full-time income as a poultry inspector by baking pastries and deserts for a local pub. Giovanna isn’t too pleased when Filippo insists on bringing home a confused elderly man they find wandering in the streets. The older man’s presence and the mystery of his identity have a profound effect on Giovanna. At the same time, she indulges in gazing out her window to the flat opposite hers, where a handsome young bachelor lives. At a chance meeting in a bar Giovanna learns that the bachelor, Lorenzo is a banker who is due to be transferred to a new branch. Their connection deepens when, one night, Lorenzo aids Giovanna in locating the older man, who has wandered off. As the questions about the old man grow more and more complex, and the secrets of his past are slowly revealed, Lorenzo and Giovanna grow closer.
