Claudia va in Sicilia per riconquistare l'amore della sua ex ragazza, Anna. Ma questa non ne vuole sapere e abbandona Claudia in una città a lei sconosciuta. Vagando per la città incontra Sandro che la condurrà in un viaggio verso l'accettazione o negazione di sè stessa.
On a quest to reconcile with her lover, Anna, Claudia travels from Rome to the Sicilian city of Modica by bus. Coldly rejected, cloaked in a poncho and large sunglasses, she roams into the Duomo di San Giorgio. Later that evening, a handsome man named Sandro approaches while Claudia nurses her broken heart with a glass of wine. Eager to lose herself in a conventional romance in which she can openly express love, Claudia slips into a fantasy. The following day, Sandro takes her to the historic city of Syracuse and tells her the myth of the nymph Arethusa, unwittingly forcing Claudia to face reality and accept who she is.
