Habla de los cuentos que han contado las personas del mundo antiguo, explica su entendimiento de lo que ellos podian ver en el cielo.

Fidanzati, amici, sposi, dalla Grecia antica all'India misteriosa, dalla Bibbia al medioevo. Sono i protagonisti di queste storie, lontani nello spazio e nel tempo, ma uniti da un destino comune: quello di amare ed essere amati. Dopo l'esperienza dell'amore, tutto diventa possibile: lieto fine o tragedia, felicità pura o immenso dolore. E tutti sono pronti ad accogliere il proprio destino - anche quando è crudele come quello di Romeo e Giulietta, o di Tristano e Isotta - pur di non rinunciare all'amore.
