Despite his reputation as a recluse mourning his deceased wife, Alessandro can't help but be drawn to Eliana. As they work together and get to know each other better, their initial curiosity turns into genuine affection.
But when Eliana's father sends the man he wants her to marry to bring her back home, she refuses to go. Alessandro overhears their conversation and assumes the worst - that Eliana had lied about her intentions from the beginning. Enraged, he fires her on the spot.
Yet even in the midst of their misunderstanding, neither can fully let go of their feelings for one another. Can an honest discussion clear the air and lead to lasting happiness?
