ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Beautiful Ruins, by Jess Walter, tells the story of a chance encounter in 1962 between Pasquale Tursi, an Italian hotelier, and Dee Moray, a young American actress, in the small village of Porto Vergogna. This meeting sparks a lifelong longing in Pasquale, who then embarks on a quest decades later to find her. The narrative weaves together multiple storylines, shifting between 1960s Italy and contemporary Hollywood, exploring the lives of various characters connected by this single moment. 
  
The book delves into the themes of love, regret, and the passage of time, as well as the power of stories and their ability to shape our lives. The characters grapple with their pasts, their choices, and the unexpected turns their lives have taken. The narrative contrasts the allure of fame and the quiet beauty of a simple life.
