Synopsis

We see life through the eyes of Salvatore returning to his parents’ home after completing his internship as a doctor in the country.

When he meets Kate, a quiet, mysterious girl, a relationship blossoms. But Kate has difficulty rationalizing her feelings for Salvatore with the closeness she feels for her flat-mate, Jane – a professional singer who is love with Kate.
