Winds of revolution blows in Europe, and in Milan, a group of men poorly armed revolt against the Austrian army to restore freedom of the city. Jacopo and Aspasia live in those bright days of 1848 a love so brief as the insurrection itself, but as a perennial ideal that will never died.

Thirty-six years after the events, Count Italo Morosini, senator of the Kingdom of Italy, receives an anonymous manuscript that takes him back in time.
