The worm is turning. Joanna Volpi knows that her handsome Italian husband is having yet another affair, but for the first time in her married life, she cannot bear to be in communication with him at all. It would have been cruelly tactless to cast her as the wronged Elvira in the local summer production of 'Don Giovanni', so her fellow English countryman, Lord Henry Thirsk, has asked Joanna to create his sets, albeit against his better judgement.
Henry's young wife Gaia thinks the whole project of rounding up English, American and Italian talent for a night of Mozart in the Umbrian hills is a bit dated and embarrassing - not to mention an excuse of her husband's for not getting on with his next novel - until she herself is cast as Elvira. Little does she realise that Henry's directorial interest in the set design will soon be escalating each time he liaises with the appealing and currently footloose set designer.
