Tuscany, a place name that sounds very artistic, the cradle of Italian art, the birthplace of the Renaissance in Europe, is said to be one of the "50 places you must visit in your life" recommended by National Geographic magazine. The heroine Francis, a female writer who loves to write bad reviews, a wife abandoned by her husband, and a woman who feels unhappy, came to this picturesque place by accident under the recommendation of her best friend Petty. This is a typical small Italian town with sunflowers, quaint old towns and streets, bustling crowds, a market full of fireworks, an open-air coffee shop at the corner, and a place called BRAMASOLE (Longing for the Sun) of small villas for sale. As if it was destined, the minibus that Francis was riding stopped in front of the villa to avoid the sheep. She walked into the villa like a ghost, and was hit by pigeon dung. The old lady who believed in the Catholic landlord regarded her as an oracle. , sold the house at a low price to Francis, a frustrated female writer who went out to relax. Following the guidance, she bought a house and settled down in a tourist resort thousands of miles away. With the help of the gentle and kind real estate agent Martini, Francis hired a Polish construction team to start the renovation of the house. Pavel, a Polish boy who speaks very good English, fell in love with the girl next door, Chiara, and Francis gradually integrated into local life. Francis, who had lost confidence in love, met the tall and handsome Marcelo when he was avoiding the harassment of gangsters. The two quickly fell in love. Francis rekindled the flame of love in his heart, and saw how happiness seemed to be. After beckoning to her and planning to "hold a wedding in her villa and have a family", the sudden arrival of her best friend Petty disrupted Francis' happy plan, and the scheduled weekend appointment could not be made. Marcelo's visit They also failed to meet each other, and the karma was like quicksand. After following the advice of the blonde Catherine, Francis put on a white dress and sat on a motorcycle to find her boyfriend. Marcelo, the happiness at your fingertips seems to be out of reach. A heartbroken Francis meets Catherine, who is free to let go, at the fountain in the square. Catherine tells her "No matter what happens, always keep your innocence, This is the most important thing." After returning to the villa, Francis met Pavel and Chiara who could not be together because of the family issue, and bravely stood up to act as Pavel's family, supporting their marriage, the Catholic Church The wedding ceremony in the house, the wedding party in the courtyard of the villa, the neighbors who love each other and the people who are close to each other, let Francis Gradually understand that happiness is not anywhere else in the side. Bertrand Russell once said, "Being the object of love is a great source of happiness, but the one who asks for love does not really get it. In a broad sense, the one who is loved is the one who gives love. people." The Tuscan sunshine seemed to shine into Francis' heart, and her mood brightened. Although she has not yet found love at this moment, she is quietly waiting for her one, he will come Or she didn't come, she was there quietly, just like the railway tracks that had been repaired on the most dangerous Alps at the junction of Austria and Italy, waiting quietly for the arrival of the train. Think of a sentence: "Look forward like he will come tomorrow, live like he will never come".
