Nestled between two mountains in an Old World reminiscent of
nineteenth century Europe, Fremolia is a small town of innocence
and simple pleasures. Full of writers and poets in all of their
laziness and grandeur, Fremolia's citizens exhibit promise and
life. But when war rumbles on the horizon, the town hovers on the
edge of turmoil.
In the midst of the coming threat, a love triangle including
Mariela, a beautiful young local woman, her long-time gypsy dance
partner Guiseppe, and a rich American writer named Alex White,
whose aspirations are bigger than himself, creates a stir in the
village, adding a sense of spice to the evenings at The Cafe
Toscanini, the local gathering place.
But the War interrupts the town's quiet pace, affecting
Fremolia's residents in ways they would never have imagined. Life,
death, and the question of mortality become integral to their daily
lives. Will the village ever return to its pre-war innocence, or
has the War obliterated such nostalgia?
