In Rome, at the age of fifteen, Ottavia decided to take control of her destiny. Neither her love affairs, nor marriage, nor even motherhood make her stray from her path. While her husband looks after their children, she creates in her restaurant a cuisine that owes nothing to anyone. In a black dress and without a tremor, Ottavia moves straight ahead, until one day a man from the past appears with a confession that makes her doubt her decisions. How can one be certain that one has chosen one’s life? Does desire have an end?
