Synopsis:

In Genoa, Agata runs her bookstore and, without meaning to, causes light bulbs and appliances to burn out. At the same time that a younger man declares his attraction to her, her brother Gustav, a morose architect, a distant husband, and an indifferent father, discovers that he was adopted and has a half-brother in the Po Valley. To Agata's great pain, she sees her young man with another woman - plus, Gustav cuts himself off from her and from his wife and son. Agata goes to the Po Valley, meets Gustav's brother and the brother's wife, and tries to reconnect by letting life wash over her. Wisdom comes from traditional Chinese medicine and from good literature.

As proprietor of a bookstore in Genoa, the warm and intelligent Agatha (Licia Maglietta) dispenses literary wisdom to her adoring customers. When a younger man heeds her advice on books and falls madly in love with her, Agatha revels in the passion of the affair, creating an emotional energy that pops light bulbs!

Meanwhile, Agatha's architect brother Gustavo has his life turned upside down by the revelation that he is adopted and the winds of change rage as Gustavo faces up to his past. The director of Bread and Tulips, Silvio Soldini, returns with this colourful romantic comedy bursting with warmth and sincerity.
