In Rome, fascist supporter Emanuele attends a parade commemorating Adolf Hitler's historic meeting with Italian leader Benito Mussolini, leaving his apolitical wife, Antonietta, to tend to household duties.

Over the course of the day, the two forge a close friendship that will forever change their perceptions of life, love and politics.
