Summary During the final moments of World War II, in a deserted Italian villa, four people come together: a young nurse, her will broken, all her energy focused on her last, dying patient, a man in whom she has seen something "she wanted to learn, to grow into and hide in" ... the patient: an unknown Englishman, survivor of a plane crash, his mind awash with a life's worth of secrets and passions
