Emilia arrives in Rome reeling from heartbreak. What was supposed to be a romantic trip has, with the sudden end of her relationship, become a solitary one instead. Six days alone in Rome lie ahead of her. Six days that will challenge, surprise and renew. She wanders the streets, drinking in the city – music, art, food, and history all colouring her experience. Then she meets John, an American expat living a seemingly idyllic Roman life. As their intimacy deepens – an intriguing connection that gradually reveals the pain they both hold – Emilia starts to see herself anew. Forced to reckon with her complicated past and the choices she’s made in the name of art and love, she finds herself transformed in ways she never expected.
