Shortly before her 50th birthday, Martha learns that she has cancer, in its final stage. The journalist decides against any form of therapy and instead heads to Italy. With no fixed plan, just a few dreams in her bag, she sets off, leaving her daughter, her friends, and her father behind. Now that her life has an expiration date, she finally does what she has always wanted but has always denied herself. In Bologna, Martha not only finds answers to questions she had never asked herself before, but she also discovers laughter, the long-missed joy of living, and great love. She meets Michele, and precisely because she knows she has only a few weeks left, she allows everything to happen and holds nothing back. She pulls in the safety nets she has carefully woven for decades and embraces the free fall. Because she knows: In life, you only regret what you didn't do.
