La tempesta (The Storm) is a romantic comedy produced by Rai Fiction. The story is set in Treviso, near Venice, in the well-known Tognana porcelain tableware plant. Two brothers inherit the plant, but are complete opposites. With the disappearance of Aldo Del Serio, the responsible brother, Paolo takes the reins at the factory. Paolo is a girl-chasing, do-nothing guy and aside from running Tognana, he has to act as a parent to the feisty Belarus orphan that his brother had just adopted. He couldn't do this without Manuela, his love interest and a worker at the factory.
