Green-haired Maia is tired of city life and, driven by a desire to be among nature, she decides to spend the summer picking oranges. In the orchards, she is greeted by the gardener, an eccentric loner called Teo, who notices that Maia isn’t like everyone else. In the same way, he tends his plants and devotes his time and energy to her, and the young woman starts to blossom. Their burgeoning friendship, however, is unsettled by the arrival of Teo’s father and older brother Arturo, who are planning a celebration in a neighboring village.
