Désirée never met her older sister, Stella. The two girls, in fact, daughters of the same father, lived separate lives due to family disagreements. But when Stella learns that Désirée has moved to Rome from Naples to study, she finally decides to meet her for the first time. All those lost years are condensed in the time of two meetings, so intense as to induce Désirée to withdraw from that relationship. Yet, a few months later, the sight of a flower is enough to rekindle his memory. The memories of those days are a testament to their bond of love.
