A lush, old-fashioned romantic drama that unfolds gently, blending post-war melancholy with the hopeful sweetness of first love.

One day, Aurora happens to meet the boys next door, Freddy and Sebastian, the sons of a wealthy Italo-Austrian family. Freddy is an easy-going chap, though sometimes a little bit arrogant.
