O filme conta a intrigante história de Sonia, a camareira de um hotel. Quando ela conhece Guido, um ex-policial, em um “speed date” (uma espécie de agência de encontros), ocorre uma atração mútua e aos poucos começam a se conhecer, bem como desvendar as próprias feridas. Estão a ponto de se apaixonarem, quando Guido morre inesperadamente em um assalto. Sonia se vê sozinha, vivendo um luto onde não consegue encontrar sentido. Enquanto o passado de Sonia é revivido, com todos os seus nós não desatados, a realidade que a circunda começa a entrar em colapso. Quem é a verdadeira Sonia? E, sobretudo, é mesmo Guido aquele que ela continua a ver, além de qualquer lógica plausível? O que fará quando lhe for oferecida uma segunda chance?
Nestor
Há mais de 3 mil anos, Tróia era próspera, cuja localização a permitiu dominar o Helesponto (hoje conhecido como estreito de Dardanelos). Esta era a única rota marítima que ia e vinha do oriente, o que gerava muitas riquezas para Tróia, que se tornou um troféu de guerra tentador para as nações gregas. Os troianos se lembravam de quando os gregos, liderados por Esparta, saquearam e queimaram a cidade dos ancestrais. Em razão disto os troianos haviam preparado fortes defesas, para a possibilidade de futuros ataques. Guardada por grandes muralhas, a nova Tróia era um abrigo impenetrável para um povo feliz.

Italian filmmaker Carmine Gallone was still in his "operetta" mode when he helmed 1938's Il Sogno di Butterfly (Dream of the Butterfly) Maria Cebotari plays opera diva Rosa Belloni, currently starring in a production of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. The plot thickens when Rosa's backstage life begins to mirror the travails of the character she is portraying. The climax comes when Harry Peters (Fosco Giachetti), the American father of Rosa's illegitimate child, returns after four years with his new wife in tow, leading inexorably to a doleful ending both on- and offstage. Critics complained about the substandard photography in Il Sogno di Butterfly, but this might have been due to poor laboratory work.
