Antonio is living life to the full, but inwardly he feels disoriented. While his career as a master pastry chef is flourishing and his recipe videos are celebrated on the internet, he lacks inspiration, both professionally and personally. Three years after the death of their mutual friend Denis, he meets Luca again, who is now in a happy relationship with Tancredi, the operator of an LGBTQ+-residential home. Their reunion reawakens old feelings, but Antonio can't quite make sense of Luca's proximity. In his attempt to sabotage Luca's relationship, he not only risks their friendship but also has to ask himself whether he is ready to let go of the past in order to embrace the future.
