Two strangers, one crumbling Venetian palace, and a family secret that'll ruin everything.
The dreamy, young Munich-born Lilly inherits the house of her godfather Gianni, a winding, picturesque weathered palazzo in the heart of Venice. The other half inherits Francesco, who is to come up as a wealthy hotelier for the maintenance and Lilly likes right off the bat. While Lilly is wondering if Francesco is even Gianni's son, the two get closer. But Lilly has scruples about destroying Francesco's relationship with Giovanna. When her mother Teresa and her father Max arrive in Venice, Lilly learns a long-guarded family secret that finally shakes her tight-knit world.
