The life of freshly divorced San Francisco writer Frances Mayes (Best Actress Oscar nominee DIANE LANE) is about to take an unexpected but much needed upturn.

Trying to shake Frances out of her lethargy and post-breakup funk, her friend Patti offers Frances a gift that she hopes will do the trick: a ten day trip to Tuscany, in the heart of Italy. And right there, under the Tuscan sun, the unlikeliest thing happens: Frances impulsively buys a run-down villa named "Bramasole"?literally, "something that yearns for the sun"?and in so doing, plunges herself into a brand new life.

As she embraces the local ways and devotes herself to the restoration of her new home, Frances finds herself forming close bonds with the people around her and slowly rediscovers the pleasures of laughter, friendship and romance. Even as she stumbles forward on her uncertain journey, one thing becomes clear: in life, there are second chances.
