Zwei glutheiße Sommer in der Lombardei: Leo verbringt die Tage damit, im etwas in die Jahre gekommenen Hotel ihrer Nonna auszuhelfen und die kuriosen Hinterlassenschaften der Gäste einzusammeln – einen Perlenohrring, eine Haarlocke. Als ein Unfall geschieht, für den Leo sich verantwortlich fühlt, ist ihre Kindheit schlagartig vorbei. Jahre später ist Leo wieder in Italien, doch nichts ist mehr, wie es war. Als eines Tages Dolores, eine junge amerikanische Geigenbauerin, in der Tür steht, verliebt sich Leo stürmisch in sie.
