Elsa is 82 years-old and for the past 60 years she's dreamt of starring in the scene of Fellini's La Dolce Vita at the Fontana di Trevi. The same scene without Anita Ekberg in it but Elsa instead.

Alfredo is a bit younger than Elsa and was always a good man who did everything he was supposed to do. After losing his wife, he feels confused and his daughter decides that it would be best if he moved into a smaller apartment where he will meet Elsa. From that moment on, everything changes. Elsa bursts into his life like a whirlwind, determined to teach him that the time he has left to live - be it more or less - is precious and that he should enjoy it as he pleases.
