Description
Mid-1950s, Rome. The Balestrieri family has owned a grocery store near Via Merulana for generations. Their existence flows quietly until their second daughter, Marisa, cracks the perfect picture. Pregnant and without a partner, her parents arrange her engagement to their young apprentice, Stelvio.
In the 80s, Stelvio and Marisa Ansaldo are truly satisfied: their business is going well, they love each other deeply, their eldest son is a concert pianist who travels the world, and their daughter, Betta, is a lively and dynamic sixteen.But a summer tragedy will leave the family reeling from loss, left only with the memory of what they once were.Despite mourning, love and sincerity help bring the truth to light and strengthen the deepest bonds.
