Intro. The action takes place in 1926: in order to improve their financial situation and cope with the consequences of the First World War, the English Ainsworth family moves to Italy and opens a hotel for compatriots in Portofino. Lucian suffered physical and emotional trauma due to the war. He is experiencing post-traumatic syndrome: he is tormented by nightmares about the death of his friends in the war. Lucian loves to draw and dreams of becoming a professional artist, but his father is skeptical about his son’s hobby and makes other plans for him. Lucian helps his mother: he picks up and drops off guests from the station, and also arranges trips to the beach and boat rides for them. At this time, Bella's spendthrift husband, Cecil Ainsworth, in search of dubious sources of income, is looking for a rich bride for Luciana.
