A Russian tour guide leads a group to Italy, finds romance and then suffers a wrenchingly rude awakening in this Italian/Russian comedy drama. Chloya is to take a group of Russian women, who won a prize, on a tour of Venice, but finding her tour group personally distasteful, she decides to sneak off and walk the streets alone so she can show off her spiffy new chapeau. During her self-guided tour she encounters the handsome, charming Lorenzo. He seems genuinely interested in her and they spend the entire day talking and touring the town's little known sights. At the end of the day, they return to her hotel and make passionate love for hours. She is happy until they finish and he coldly produces an itemized bill and reveals that he is a gigolo.
