Pietro and Eleonora (Christian De Sica, Teresa Saponangelo), the main characters of Caterina Carone's second work I limoni d’inverno, have adjoining terraces. He's lived there forever while she has just moved in with her photographer husband. Their shared passion for gardening is the pretext for a profound conversation that helps them alleviate the pain that each keep secret from those around them. The terraces create a place suspended between earth and sky, far from the noise and speed of Rome; here Pietro and Eleonora learn from each other how to follow their hearts and believe in the "chance to be happy” before their paths separate.
The exterior shots show the city without its usual chaos: scenes were shot in the botanical gardens of Rome, with its bamboo forest, near the fishing village of Ostia where Pietro's brother restores his boat, and in the Appia Antica archaeological park, where Eleonora and her husband meet to talk.

Thanks to the proximity of their neighbouring terraces, two strangers strike up conversation while struggling with their gardening activities; it will end up alleviating the pain of the secrets they both bear.
