Set in the early 20th century, it's a story about a wealthy man named Romano (Mastroianni) and his encounter with a mysterious woman named Anna (Keller) in a hotel at a spa town. Romano is a wealthy and charming gentleman but he is bored with his life and his marriage to the beautiful and superficial Emma. He spends his time playing cards, flirting with women, and avoiding his wife's demands. One day, while he is waiting for Emma at the spa, he meets Anna, a married woman with a tragic past, who is in the spa with her husband. Romano is immediately drawn to her, and they start a flirtatious and passionate romance.

Anna is like a breath of fresh air for Romano. She is smart, cultured, and has a unique perspective on life. She tells him her stories about her childhood, her family, and her marriage, which are full of passion, betrayal, and tragedy. Romano is fascinated by Anna and falls in love with her. He is enchanted by her dark eyes, which seems to reveal her soul.

Their romance evolves into a love affair, and they spend days together, exploring the spa town, its beautiful landscapes, and having deep conversations about life and love.
