Thanks to Alvise the pages of an old diary come to light in a historic bookshop.
What he discovers will change his life.
An elderly woman wanders barefoot across the rooftops immersed in memories, while her young daughter tries to leave behind a not-so-happy marriage.
Two love stories that intersect on the roof of a late nineteenth-century building, giving life to a comedy about the cycles of human existence.
In the background a daily and wonderful Venice.

"During the visit I remained mostly silent. Petra was looking through the guidebook for every piece of furniture, every object, statuette or painting from the 15th century onwards. For my part, I already knew that in such a place overflowing with art, it would be enough for me to let myself go for a few minutes in admiration of Lorenzo Tiepolo's two canvases depicting two eighteenth-century portraits, and then go up to the second floor and lose myself in the most representative drawings from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, belonging to the Giorgio Cini Foundation. I preferred to enjoy a few things at a time in Venice: it had been my home for a few years; I would discover it slowly, in no hurry."
