In Venice, Italy, Enrico (Tony Musante), a terminally ill musician, reunites with his ex-wife, Valeria (Florinda Bolkan). Valeria, who doesn't know about her former husband's condition, agrees to spend the day with Enrico on the eve of his musical performance at a Venetian concert hall. Though Valeria now lives in a different city with a new lover, the couple spend the day reminiscing about happier times, tentatively reigniting the flame of their once-passionate love. The film is especially notable for its romantic musical score, composed by Stelvio Cipriani.
