Sul fianco di una montagna, affacciata sul lago, in un luogo dimenticato e nascosto tra la provincia di Trento e di Verona, c'è una casa bianca. Da lontano, quando il sole illumina i muri, sembra una perla o una conchiglia, appoggiata per caso in quel luogo impervio. È lì che Giovanni ha deciso di costruire con i pochi soldi portati a casa dopo gli anni nella Merica ed è lì che ora Sara, sua nipote, ha fatto ritorno dopo molti anni di assenza, perché la casa è in pericolo, al suo posto vogliono costruire un'autostrada, e Sara non può permetterlo. In quella casa, infatti, si sono intrecciati i destini di Giovanni e della moglie Ines, le vite brevi di Erminia, Maria, Giuseppe e degli a...
We are surrounded by information. Even the most routine situations in which we find ourselves conceal a hidden information flow. Every step we take, a host of signals meet us, providing information about what is happening in other parts of reality. The cherry tree in bloom reveals that spring has arrived.

Everyone in the world, it seems, is either prettier or thinner (or both) than Beauty Marie Zavala. And the only thing "B" resents more than her name is the way others judge her for the extra 40 pounds she can't lose. At least she has her career. Or did, until she overhears her boss criticizing her weight and devising a scheme to keep her from being promoted. Enter B's new tax accountant, a modern-day matchmaker determined to boost B's flagging self-esteem by introducing her to rich, successful men who will accept her for who she is. As B's confidence blossoms, so do her fantasies of revenge. But will B find true happiness or true disaster when she unwittingly falls for the one guy she shouldn't?
