Sanne runs a luxurious bed-and-breakfast with her parents amidst the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany, where the towering cypress trees provide a tranquil setting. Following the disappointment of her own marriage, she finds herself struggling to meet a suitable man. Her life intersects with that of Jeroen, a divorce lawyer who lacks belief in the institution of marriage. Ironically, he comes to Tuscany not only to support his best friend Bob, a successful plastic surgeon, as he prepares to marry Lisa, a talented hockey player, but also to cash in on the lucrative divorce industry.
Initially, Jeroen's persona suggests he is quite different from the romantic ideal Sanne longs for; however, as they collaborate on wedding plans, Sanne discovers a gentle and kind-hearted side hidden beneath Jeroen’s exterior. Their connection deepens into romance, yet an unexpected complication arises when Sanne learns of Jeroen’s recent relationship with Lisa. This revelation threatens to unravel Bob and Lisa's impending nuptials and creates tension between Sanne and Jeroen. Despite their passionate night together, Sanne expresses her concerns about being just another fleeting encounter with Jeroen, leading to an abrupt decision to part ways.
The narrative takes a darker turn six months later when Sanne's father, Tom, suffers a heart attack, and she finds herself involved in planning his wedding to a new stepmother, just as he tragically passes away. In her time of grief, Sanne finds solace in Camillo, an Italian charmer, who helps her escape from her sadness surrounding both Jeroen and her father. She starts to believe that perhaps Camillo is her perfect match, and they even begin making plans to marry — until Jeroen re-enters her life, announcing his upcoming marriage to Dominique, Lisa's sister.
As Jeroen prepares for his union with Dominique, Sanne faces her own struggles with the situation. However, she is overwhelmed during the wedding ceremony and makes a dramatic exit, inadvertently distracting everyone and stalling the signing of their marriage contract. Chaos ensues at the wedding reception when Dominique’s mother, in a fit of rage, attempts to rekindle a romance with her ex-husband, leading to an accidental incident involving the mayor that ignites a fire.
In an unexpected moment of clarity, Jeroen realizes he cannot move on from Sanne and, during a chaotic scene where Sanne searches for fire extinguishers, he confesses his true feelings for her — admitting that he drove to Italy hoping to rekindle their romance after witnessing her with Camillo. Just as they are about to kiss, duty calls them back to the fire they have to extinguish. Nonetheless, amidst the smoky chaos, Sanne and Jeroen share a kiss that the entire family witnesses.
The evening concludes with revelations: Lisa’s parents find comfort in one another, Camillo ends his relationship with Sanne, and the narrative closes with time passing. One year later, during a beautiful reunion, all characters come together for a joyful celebration at Jeroen and Sanne's wedding. With their loved ones and the joys of life surrounding them, they begin their new journey as husband and wife, soaring into the skies on their honeymoon in a hot air balloon, symbolizing new beginnings and hope.
