Colin and Mary left England for a holiday in Venice. Even if you have been together for seven years, are not married nor engaged. They live separate lives. Colin is wonderful and has had a series of failures in the entertainment world. Mary has appeared in a women's theater company, has two children and an ex-husband passionate about photography. In a hotel sleeping in single beds and are spoken only in the evening, before dinner, when exchanging the dreams they do. Their union is no longer a passion, is something akin to an intimate friendship. One night, out late to look for a restaurant and smarritisi in the winding alleys, Colin and Mary happened to meet Robert, a man well known in the neighborhood that takes care of business and runs a bar. Son and grandson of diplomats from the rigid patriarchal moral, Robert helps them, restores them, tells them the story of his childhood and then receives them at home, where Mary and Colin are becoming acquainted with Caroline, the wife of Robert invalid. In the four days following the meeting with Robert and Caroline, Colin and Mary experience a dizzying and satisfying return of passion as if to close a path of love that bursts into uncontrollable desire and not be postponed. Even just for a moment, even if they experience feelings of weakness in front of the flow of life. It 's a hard, witty and ironic account of the crisis in the troubled relationship of a couple who can not restrain a holiday, in which the speeches are drowning in banality and mutual incomprehension, where you can confuse victims and victimizers.
