Like many women who are already wives and mothers, Giovanna (Giovanne Mesoz, played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno) enjoys the peace and sense of security of a peaceful life while at the same time weary of an immutable marriage. In order to maintain her family, Giovanna once gave up her ideal, and now she still feels very sorry, coupled with a stodgy husband who does not understand amorous feelings, so that her heart is ready to move. The man next door named Lorenz (Leopova Raoul Bova) attracts Giovanna's attention, and through the kitchen window, Giovanna peeps at his every move. By coincidence, Giovanna and Lorentz met, and the flames of desire flared out of control. However, as time went by, Giovanna found that the situation began to get out of control, and her relationship with Lorentz became complicated and confusing.
