Rekindling a childhood friendship should never be this difficult. Angie and Sera (Serafino) learn that rekindling a childhood friendship is more than remembering the past. It is about accepting each other's new and different lifestyles. When Sera reconnects with Angie, he stumbles into a once lost childhood relationship. They came from fractured families and were inseparable as children on the streets of Naples, but now they travel in different worlds. Sera is an itinerant musician, Angie is a fashion model. They meet in Madrid nineteen years after an unfortunate parting, and attempt to adapt to each other's new worlds. What neither one counts on are the obstacles placed in their way. Sera lives within his means. His friends are the bar owners who give him work, and the kindred spirits on the streets. Angie discovers his new lifestyle when she accompanies him to gigs in Spain. She also meets the people that are part of his life, and finds it easy to accept their relaxed culture. When Angie's friends turn up at a music festival in Barcelona, the serene atmosphere that she and Sera enjoy is challenged. They accept an offer of a lift to Angie's next assignment in Portofino. On their travel through France, Sera realizes Angie now lives a glamorous lifestyle. Her friends are pretentious, and he feels out of place. They come to realize their lifestyles are incompatible, and it becomes a battle to see whether Angie and Sera's relationship will survive during their angst-filled journey. They begin to wonder whether they can remain friends after their chance meeting. Is there any possibility that they will rediscover their roots? They find the answers on their travel through Spain, France and Italy; while they are embroiled in the passion of romance, music, and the exotic locations they visit. This is a love story littered with angst. A taciturn hero who expresses himself best through music, and a heroine whose warmth strives to conquer all obstacles.
