Naples. Villa Primic, which was once a prestigious home overlooking Capri, is about to be put up for sale. This was decided by Rose, the wife of well-known writer Valerio, partly supported by her children. The only one who would not want to leave the house is Valerio, who has a heartfelt but discreet support by the maid, who has now become part of the family. But Valerio has shut himself up for too long in his world of books to be really able to participate in the decisions that are made.
