Leopardi's childhood home is a library and a prison. The world is changing and Giacomo seeks connection with the world he has only read about. When he leaves home, Italy's high society opens its doors, but he doesn't fit in. In Florence, he falls into a love triangle with his best friend and the charming Fanny. In Naples, he is absorbed in the desperate and vital spectacle of the city. He ends his journey in the countryside near Mt. Vesuvius.
