He is an English art history and literature lecturer, she is a gallery owner. In one afternoon, they meet, take a trip to the Tuscan countryside, have lunch, visit a gallery, and discuss art, love, relationships, and the contradictions of his thesis. When the waitress mistakes them for a married couple, they spontaneously indulge in role play. They fake it so well that it looks like they have become one or have been together forever. The relationship between apparent strangers becomes a real stranger: is it love or a certified copy? The story of the chance meeting of a man and a woman in a small village in the south of Tuscany is a very ordinary story that can happen to anyone, anywhere. The latest film by the great Iranian auteur is the first feature film that the director shot in Europe.
