Edith e Andrea, una giovane un po trasgressiva e un capitano molto rigoroso, si incontrano per caso su un traghetto, tra Venezia e la Grecia. Un evento minimo dei tanti di cui e fatta la vita. Ma la loro cambia per sempre. Dapprima ce il rifiuto: come possono, loro cosi diversi, sentirsi attratti una dallaltro? Poi le fasi alterne di un amore dapprima clandestino, le avventure di una lunga separazione, il pericolo di un segreto, una felicita inattesa e una grande prova... E infine lisola, piena di vento e di luce, dove i due vanno ad abitare ristrutturando una vecchia casa abbandonata. Lisola dove ora Andrea si ritrova solo. I dialoghi veramente importanti, pero, non si esauriscono mai: mentre la cura quotidiana del giardino e delle api dellamata moglie lo aiuta a tornare alla vita, Andrea continua a parlare con lei. Le racconta, con tenerezza e passione, la loro grande storia damore. E le promette che ritrovera la figlia, Amy, che da troppo tempo ha interrotto i rapporti con i genitori. Forse e possibile ricominciare, riscoprirsi famiglia, nonostante i dispiaceri e le scomode verita?
