The City and the House

What a strange person you are. We've said almost nothing to each other for so long and then all of a sudden you write me a long letter.

Giuseppe is leaving his flat in Rome, where he has lived for more than twenty years, to go and live with his brother in America. He must say goodbye to his cousin Roberta, his former lover Lucrezia and her husband Piero, and all his friends who used to gather for weekends at Le Margherite, Lucrezia's splendid house in the country. But even before Giuseppe's departure, friendships have begun to fracture as frustrated yearnings and past infidelities strain the bonds.

The sale of Le Margherite marks the end of an era, and its old inhabitants and visitors are left to pursue happiness on their own. Their stories unfold through an exchange of letters that reveal with great poignancy the thoughts, passions and desires of the protagonists..
