7 Days

Having recently arrived on the small Sicilian island of Levanzo to organize his brother's wedding, Ivan, a quadragenarian botanist, can't fathom how he's supposed to work in a place he considers underdeveloped and inhabited by miserable people. He can rely on the help of Chiara, the best friend of the bride-to-be who, arrived on the island right after him, is, on the contrary, extremely excited and stimulated by everything surrounding her. They get along well from the get-go and, assisted by the beauty around them, they inevitably fall for each other. Giving in to their feelings is not easy as they both have issues to deal with: Ivan is afraid to get involved in anything serious as he is yet to get over his previous relationship and Chiara doesn't want to jeopardize her marriage.
