Synopsis

"The course of true love never did run smooth..." In the turn of the 19th century in Tuscany, necklines are high, parents are rigid, and the fate of the young is at the mercy of strict moral values. The good news? The bustle is in decline, allowing for the meteoric rise of this newfangled creation - the bicycle. Welcome to Villa Athena, where on one glorious midsummer night, an unsuspecting world is set alight by desire and passion - only to discover why love makes fools of us all.
