Giacomo is stuck in a funk he can''t shake - and a translation he can''t finish. When he''s summoned home to Sardinia, to say a final goodbye to his dying grandmother, he''s offered the perfect opportunity to escape.

On the noisy, sun-drenched island, Giacomo reconnects with long-lost friends and overbearing relatives, relives the childhood he once couldn''t wait to leave behind, and rediscovers new joie-de-vivre within him. Never mind that he''s making no progress on his translation. . .

When the time comes to leave once more, Giacomo wonders: has he fallen back in love with his home-island? Or has he been hiding from something which he needs the courage to return and confront?

But most importantly - is his grandma really as ill as she''s claiming to be?
