Hoping to better understand the culture of her Italian heritage, Natalia joins her Uncle Tony on a Christmas trip to their hometown in Italy. While exploring the town, she meets a stubborn award-winning panettone baker, Marco. Between helping her family pick olives and the town’s panettone contest, Natalia finds herself falling for Marco. With her eyes set on returning home to work after the holidays, she decides to ignore her feelings and focus on helping the town export their olive oil to America. However, as Christmas approaches she begins to understand the true meaning of the famous Italian phrase “la dolce vita”, perhaps she could change her life for the better.
