With a brilliant career in London, Serena, an architect originally from Abruzzo, decides to return to work in Italy, in Rome. For a woman to get a job at the height of her qualification as a really good architect proves to be difficult, until she decides to pass herself as a man. So she decides to work in the redevelopment of the Corviale district.
In Rome, meanwhile, she meets Francesco, and she becomes instantly attracted to him. When she understands he is a homosexual man, the two of them become close friends and start a long lasting relationship. As he will help her pretending to be the man behind her project for the Corviale district, and doing so making the contractors produce and give a monetary value to her/his idea, she will help him coming out to his son, that he had had from a previous marriage.
