Alba, a high-spirited young woman living on a houseboat in 1970s London, has always been haunted by the mystery of her mother, Valentina, who died when Alba was a baby. Her father, Thomas, refuses to speak of the past, leaving Alba with only fragments of a life she never knew. When she discovers a portrait of her mother, Alba is propelled on a journey to the Amalfi Coast to uncover her family's history. At the family villa, Incantesimo, she unearths a tragic tale of passion, betrayal, and secrets dating back to World War II. As Alba peels back the layers of her mother's life and her final voyage, she must confront the dark legacy that has shaped her family for decades.
