The main characters are Anna, an impulsive and creative comic book artist, and Marco, a rational physics professor. Their chance meeting in the rain becomes the beginning of a long-term relationship, full of quarrels and reconciliations, disagreements and mutual attraction. Anna resists serious commitments for a long time, while Marco, on the contrary, often shows pragmatism and prudence. Over time, the couple faces everyday difficulties, jealousy, fears and insecurities, but also experiences joy and happiness, including the birth of a child.
The film focuses on the trials that love and relationships undergo, as well as the ability to compromise and support each other in difficult times. The plot unfolds over about 20 years, showing how the characters and their feelings change during this time. Despite the difficulties, their love turns out to be a real superpower.
