Rome, in the summer, a group of tourists weaving through its streets. This ancient city, beautiful to the point of suffocation, is seducing them with a mysterious and cold allure. However, in the eyes of Jep Gambardella, Rome is a city of solitude. Jep, a 65-year-old successful journalist portrayed by Toni Servillo, is elegant and charismatic. A literary work he wrote in his youth brought him fame and fortune early on. He navigates through various extravagant indulgences and social gatherings, observing the emptiness and secrets behind this beautiful city with cold, almost numb eyes. As the aria of a soprano resounds once again, Jep, who moves between the lives of ordinary people and the upper class, begins to revisit the memories of his lost youth.
