Set in the 1940s, the film follows Jennifer and Fred, an American couple living in Capri and Naples. Their marriage is defined by a polite, stifling normalcy that masks deep-seated dissatisfactions. Brass uses the backdrop of post-war Italy not just for historical flavor, but as a symbol of rebirth and raw vitality. The "Capriccio" of the title manifests when both partners seek out former lovers—Jennifer with the rugged Ciro and Fred with the captivating Rosalba.
