Munich, 2014. The talented German fashion designer Julia has finally achieved great success by winning the Milan Fashion Week. But the price of the hard-won success is too high — no personal life, not a single opportunity to slow down and look around. It was at this moment that an unfamiliar old German appeared in her life, introducing himself as her paternal grandfather. But her father is Italian …
Milan, 1954. Vincent, a young German engineer, arrives at a car factory to test a new Italian model. Least of all, he thinks that this trip will not only change his destiny, but also become the beginning of the love and drama of his whole life.
Sicily, 1970. Young Vincenzo comes from Munich to his parents’ homeland, the Italian island of Salina, where time seems to have stopped. The last summer of his childhood, and neither he nor his family yet know that in a few years an incredible drama will blow their difficult, but prosperous life to the smallest fragments.
The novel by Speck, one of Germany’s most famous writers and screenwriters, was recently filmed by director Gregor Schnitzler. The three-part television film «Bella Germany» was a great success on German television.
