Synopsis: Frances Mayes is a San Francisco-based literature professor, literary reviewer and author, who is struggling in writing her latest book. Her outwardly perfect and stable life takes an unexpected turn when her husband files for divorce. He wants to marry the woman with whom he is having an affair. Frances supported her husband financially as he was writing his own book, and he sues her for alimony despite her financial difficulties. And he wants to keep the house. Frances eventually accepts her best friend Patti's offer of a vacation, a gay tour of Tuscany which Patti and her lesbian partner Grace originally purchased for themselves before Patti found out that she is pregnant. The gift is a means to escape dealing with the divorce, from which Patti feels Frances may never recover emotionally without some intervention.

Thanks, but I've got

my boyfriend.

Marcello!

Marcello!

Francesca.

Wait there, I'm coming down.

Francesca.

Look how beautiful you are.

It's incredible to see you.

Every time we made plans,

it didn't happen.

So this time, I thought

I'll surprise you.

I am surprised.

What brings you to Positano?

What brings me to Positano?

What brings me to Positano?

Marcello.

We're going to be late.

One moment, darling.

I'll be right there.

Wow.

I came at a bad time.

Francesca, wait.

Wait. Wait!

I'm sorry you're hurt.

But what did you expect?

What did I expect?

You came to Bramasole.

You left that note.

I thought that you...

Wait.

Just a minute.

Months ago,

we had a beautiful affair.

And if you think I wanted more

of you after that, you're right.

Because I did, of course.

You're a fantastic woman,

Francesca.

But we were never able

to come together again,

even though we tried.

And this sort of thing

must come naturally.

I told you.

There was my friend.

She was going to have a baby.

There were many,

many other things.

Important things you had to do.

And you couldn't wait.

Right?

Don't worry, Francesca.

Don't worry.

There is nothing to regret.

Do you regret this?

I don't...

There is someone for you,

Francesca.

Goodbye.

Francesca!

She's in the fountain!

- Who is in the fountain?

- The crazy blonde!

What's going on here?

She is Sylvia

in "La Dolce Vita."

She's very good, actually.

Is she drunk?

I hope so.

You know, in "La Dolce Vita,"

he goes in and he gets her.

Mastroianni. He goes in,

and he fishes her out.

Katherine.

Thank you.

Do you think I make

a good Sylvia?

You were wonderful.

Oh.

Here.

I see Zeus is gone.

Back to Mount Olympus.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

I'm fine now.

There's nothing like a fountain

and a magnum of French champagne

to put you right again.

Really?

What do you think?

Oh.

You know who I really love

the most from all the films?

Cabiria.

You remember at the end

when another man has left her

in the most terrible way,

and she thinks

it's all over for her?

Then she sees some children

playing in the street,

making music.

And before she knows it...

she's smiling again.

That's what Fefe always said.

No matter what happens...

always keep

your childish innocence.

It's the most important thing.

You're back?

What happened?

How'd it go with Marcello?

I don't want to talk about it.

Chiara's here.

She's upset.

She's out in the garden

talking with Pawel.

I can't talk about it now.

Oh. Fran.

Stupid.

Stupid.

Stupid! Stupid!

Stupid!

Stupid!

Aah!

What more can I do?

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

Babbo.

I want to ask your permission
