Perennial university student Eva, who's still having difficulties at adjusting to big city life, takes up a job as dog sitter. After visiting its owner, she finds out the dog—Spotty—is actually Matteo, an introverted young man who copes with modern life by dressing up as a giant puppy. Although initially taken aback by Spotty's true nature, Eva still accepts the job. Over the weeks, something unlikely begins to blossom between the two of them.

In 1968, engineer Giorgio Rosa established the independent state called "The Isle of Roses" off the coast of Rimini, built on a platform outside the territorial waters, with Esperanto as the official language. The Italian authorities did not take it well because the micronation was seen as an expedient to not pay taxes on the revenues obtained thanks to the arrival of numerous tourists and curious people.
