Eva, a forty-year-old public relations professional living in Northern Italy, receives an unexpected message from Southern Italy. Vito, a man she briefly knew as a child as a friend of her mother's, is very ill and would like to see her one last time. He is a retired police officer who was stationed in the north during the late-sixties, a period rife with tension, protest, and violence. These troubles, however, did not stop a young hapless policeman from falling in love with the \"wrong\" woman, a girl named Gerda from Austrian Tyrol, an inventive and accomplished cook, a single mother with a rich family history of her own, a northerner, the sister of a terrorist, and Gerda's mother. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eVito's affair with Gerda was a passionate one, but what was the nature of their love?
