Emilia, a forty-year-old photographer, spends August in Sardinia with her children while her husband works in India: a baby who suffers from the sea and an eleven-year-old who shuns other children to fish with bait made of bread. Help should come from a new babysitter, an enigmatic Portuguese girl with no Italian and a pedal sewing machine, and the holiday turns comic.
