In the villa of his uncle George he spends some romantic days with her. Meanwhile, George also falls in love with Rose. After Alex's departure, Rose and George become a couple and get married. 13 years later, Alex and Rose meet again. Rose is still happy with George. She invites Alex to visit them both at their villa. There, Alex meets Jenny, the daughter of George and Rose, and Jenny falls in love with him. The drama inevitably escalates ...
