Leopardi's childhood home is a library and a prison. The world is changing and Giacomo seeks contact 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 Florence, he falls in a love triangle with his best friend and charming Fanny. In Naples, he's absorbed in the desperate and vital spectacle of the city. He ends his journey in the countryside near Mt. Vesuvius.
