Il traghettatore. Cuori in transito

Anna Venier is thirty-three years old. She has her whole life in front of her and a tragic loss behind her: she became a widow three years ago. Anna is ready to finally put the past behind her and get on with her life, she has been feeling lately that she is ready for a new relationship with which to grow and evolve. She is ready to be “in transit”, to move ahead emotionally, to travel and discover a new version of herself and a new space in her life. But what kind of relationship can one look for in life when one has already lived a perfect love?
 Her friend Alessandra suggests that she search for a “transit partner”, someone who is in a similar emotional state and with whom she can evolve together; a friend whose heart also needs to be in transit, needs to move to another level and begin living again with fresh energy and insight. Anna begins her seach for a partner in transit, meeting many men and dating many of them more than once, doing her best to discover who they are and who they would like to become. Anna’s search is successful, she finds many candidates and one very good heart in transit, although the question then becomes: are we in transit, or are we in love? Life is full of surprises, and Anna is ready to capture them all.
