The 61-year-old, highly successful fashion designer Chiara Arrighetti leads a life many dream of. After refusing to talk about her private life for decades, she decides to break the silence following the death of her parents and hires journalist Francesca to write her autobiography.

In her villa on Lake Como, Chiara speaks candidly about her life in post-war Genoa, about her first successes in Milan in the 1950s, and about love. As an extraordinary life unfolds before Francesca, Chiara also reveals, through a diary, more and more of a secret that has been anxiously kept hidden since an August day in 1944 in Nazi-occupied Italy.

A day that has never ended for Chiara. A day that has had an impact on the choices, love, and happiness in her life for half a century. Because of the horrific events that took place. And because of what she did then.

Inspired by true events.
