Guido is shy, reserved, and very cultured. While Antonia is restless, touchy, and proudly ignorant. He works as a night porter and has a passion for ancient languages and the history of saints. She is an aspiring singer and an employee at a used cars dealership. They both see each other in the early morning when Guido returns from his night shift and wakes her up with breakfast. The two are the protagonists of a funny and romantic love story in a complicated city like Rome, surrounded by crude neighbors. Nevertheless, even though coming from completely different family backgrounds, Guido and Antonia are happy and desperate. Their love seems indestructible, until an obsession of wanting to have a child triggers unforeseen consequences.
