Una comedia que investiga la idea de que el matrimonio debería ser un contrato de siete años con la opción de renovar. La historia se cuenta a través de los ojos de un documentalista y sigue a tres parejas y las diferentes etapas de sus relaciones.

Loose adaptation of Italy's national epic, Alessandro Manzoni's “The Betrothed”. In war-torn 17th century Italy, shady feudal lord Don Rodrigo eyes young and beautiful Lucia, who loves—and is reciprocated by—commoner Renzo. The two lovers plan to marry in secret, but Rodrigo discovers it and they are forced to flee their village, becoming separated and each facing many dangers, including the Plague.
