Synopsis

Antonia (Margherita Buy) and her husband Massimo have been living a happily married life for almost 10 years when a sudden and tragic accident kills Massimo. Barely able to survive her grief Antonia one day discovers that her beloved Massimo has had a secret life for a good 7 years. Shocked out of her grief, Antonia begins a search for details and any information leading to Massimo's secret mistress, only to discover that the secret lover is a man, the very handsome, young Michele (Stefano Accorsi). When she slowly begins to meet the rather large extended 'family' of friends who spent so much time with Michele and Massimo over the years, Antonia finds herself drawn to her husband's other life.
