Bored with her life, dutiful housewife Rosalba (Licia Maglietta) takes a sudden opportunity for freedom when she's unexpectedly separated from everyone during a family vacation in Venice, Italy. After a tour bus leaves without her, her husband and children don't notice until it is too late. Virtually penniless, she finds a place to stay in a cheap, run-down hotel and makes friends with a waiter who provides her with food. Deciding to stay, Rosalba finds work with an elderly florist, and moves in with the waiter. The beauty of Venice and her new-found freedom lead her to romance and self-discovery, while her husband hires an amateur detective to track her down.
