In Italy in 1943, a homosexual love that was not mixed with the world was secretly passed on by a note between two young people. For redemption, David saved most of the Jewish compatriots, but he lost his love forever. Simone. How will he spend his regretful life?

The two windows facing each other, the distance of one street, the looming cigarette butts in the dark, scalded the darkness and scalded the woman's heart. Giovanna is a clerk, mother, and wife who loves to make cakes. She faces multiple roles in real life. In an ideal world, she secretly falls in love with Filippo, a mysterious man across the window. She is entangled in passion, responsibility, reality, and ideals. What to choose?

Two completely different character settings and two unrelated stories are closely linked through a chance encounter at the beginning of the film. With the calm flow of light and shadow in the film, David, an old man with amnesia, and Giovanna, a middle-aged woman who is unwilling to be mediocre, gradually become best friends, and they are also interested in making cakes.

David said in the love poem that will never be sent to Simone: "After you go, red is no longer red, the blue sky is no longer blue, the trees are no longer green; after you go, I have to look for colors in my memories ”, David poured his emotions into making various cakes. The philosophy of his life is all about the philosophy of making cakes.

- David: "What does it feel like?"
- Giovanna: "I didn't notice, it melted too fast" -
David: "Well, there must be some starch granules that you can't feel, so that when it melts it will It leaves a sweet feeling for a while, and then the bitterness is left"
-Giovanna: "Yes, that's how it tastes"
-David: "You've turned your emotions into a hobby, You shouldn't waste your pastry talents."

David, who was late, wanted to teach Giovanna how to make a cake with exquisite materials, how to incorporate various memories and emotions into the cake, and how to decorate it like a cake. my own life.

The philosophy of life is roughly as David said: "You must demand to live in a better world, Don't be content to merely survive. (You must demand yourself to live better, not just survive)". How to regain the meaning of life in the dull? Please don't let go of your passion and cook your life with the same care as you make cakes.
