Katherine Joyce, Ingrid Bergman, and her husband Alex Joyce, George Sanders, are a couple from England who travel by car to Italy to sell a villa near Naples that they have inherited from Alex’s late Uncle Homer. The trip serves as a respite for Alex, a relentless and sharp-tongued businessman, while Katherine, more tender and perceptive, finds herself stirred by memories of a poet friend, Charles Lewington, who is no longer alive.
