The arrival of a mysterious young stranger disrupts the lives of a wealthy, unhappy family Ever since he was a little boy, Aldo Rugani has been drawn to the world of the aristocracy. Now an art dealer with a questionable past, Aldo finds himself a regular guest at the Tuscan estate of the affluent but unstable Santini family.

Tough and indomitable, the grande dame is determined to see that her troubled family has a secure future before she dies. As an outsider, Aldo can only watch as the family members mindlessly self-destruct. He pines for Lavinia, Violante's much-adored, romantically reckless widowed daughter-in-law. But on one particular weekend holiday in Tuscany, a young visitor comes to the Santini estate. A friend of Lavinia's son, Marco intends only to stop over briefly. But before he departs, everything will be different for the hapless Santinis.
