Incredibly, only moments after arriving in Rome for their honeymoon, pure young bride Wanda sneaks out of her room, leaving her fastidious groom Ivan all alone. Obsessed with the very masculine Fernando Rivoli--the hero of her favorite romantic photo-novel, The White Sheik--Wanda plucks up the courage to meet him in person, only to be seduced by the arrogant protagonist, so far away from the hotel and her husband. As a result--perplexed by Wanda's strange disappearance, and unable to disclose the news to his family--Ivan meanders through the ill-lit Roman streets in search of his wife, on pins and needles, waiting for their 11:00 appointment with his uncle and the Papal Audience at the Vatican. What does the new day have in store for the separated newlyweds?—Nick Riganas
