Vittorio, a Veronese goldsmith, meets Sonia on a blind date, and the two begin to date, slowly getting to know each other, despite some initial doubts about whether their relationship can work. Vittorio is in therapy for an obsession with thin women, bordering on anorexia nervosa. Their relationship deepens as Sonia agrees to lose weight — an act she seems to perform out of love, not from her own desire — while seemingly ignoring Vittorio’s troubling psychopathy.
