The group of young university students who hang out there--a ramshackle coterie of aspiring artists, economists, poets, and philosophers--come together to gossip and ponder the big questions of art and life, all the while pining after the vain and untouchable Francesca. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough these friends soon drift apart, their early rivalries, jealousies and conquests will continue to reverberate.
