David, a superficial young American actor, is forced to star in an Italian film about Giacomo Leopardi directed by the legendary Ruggero Mitri; arriving unprepared in Recanati, he clashes with Silvia, the coach tasked with guiding him into Leopardi’s world, and their initial hostility gradually turns into an unexpected love shaped by poetry and culture.
