In 1939, at a Paris café, six friends of various nationalities vow to meet again at the same spot after the end of WW2.

A background of rising fascism in Venice in 1930s. A music-student, Matthias, mixes with the town's bourgeoisie and falls in love with a mature teacher, Carla, the mother of his friend Renato, and then with his young colleague, Elena.

Aristide receives a big inheritance from his mother, but when he meets a beautiful redhead at the cemetery, his life changes unexpectedly.
