Roberta (Sarah Felberbaum) and Leòn (Eduardo Noriega) meet by chance on a bus in Malta. She is pregnant and faints, he catches her and looks after her. When he goes to the hospital the day after to check on Roberta, who has given birth, her parents and brother – recently arrived from Apulia – believe him to be the father.
While the first part of the film is set and was shot in Malta, the second part features locations in Apulia. Roberta’s parents are from Martina Franca (Taranto) and scenes show piazza Maria Immacolata and the adjacent Basilica of St. Martin of Tours. The 18th century castle where they live is masseria Salamina, surrounded by the fields and olive groves of Pezze di Greco, a hamlet of Fasano, in the province of Brindisi. Aunt Giada, a costume designer for opera who plays a key role in organizing the wedding, lives in another dreamy residence, Villa D’aiala in Gioia del Colle, in the Bari hinterland. In nearby Acquaviva delle Fonti, Hospital “F. Miulli” provided the location for Roberta’s birth and recovery scene in Valletta.
While the fields dotted with olive groves and bounded by the region’s typical dry-stone walls are located between Fasano and Ostuni (respectively contrada Pettolecchia and contrada Lamiola), the wedding takes place in the Church della Natività della Vergine Maria (Mtahleb, Malta).
