Sinopsis
After what seemed like an unimportant argument, Marta (Alba Rohrwacher) and Antonio (Elio Germano) split up. Antonio, a rising chef, takes refuge in his kitchen; Marta, in her silence, starts noticing something more than sadness: she has lost her appetite... and not only because of the breakup. However, everything takes an unexpected turn: the food tastes better, the music reaches her like never before and desire awakens her thirst to live without fear.
