茱蒂戴维丝初登影坛光芒万丈之作。她饰演一位极具文学天份，并勇于对抗保守环境的女性，山姆尼尔则饰演她温柔的爱人。女主角从小就宣示她成为文学家的野心，在上世纪初女性尚未得到应有社会地位的年代，她的奋斗故事是一页女性主义成长的诗篇。
In an idyllic Tuscan town, Belvedere in Chianti, all the women are married or looking for the perfect husband, except Elisa, a single mother who runs Le Giuggiole vineyard. The return to the town of a childhood friend she had lost sight of for years turns her life upside down and reawakens feelings she thought had been gone forever.
