After a rather lousy start, we are taken through an amazing bond between two people who truly love each other. And we can already see the foreshadowing of the final rupture, one way or another, for one reason or another.
This movie is full of scenery of Rome and Southern Italy, splendid landscapes, Naples, Capri, and a house like a dream. Somehow this house reflects their dreams, and the dream the two heroes are allowed to live throughout some months of happiness.
Paradies has been lost, so tells us the bible, and here we see yet another example why even true love can't last or keep the lovers together. Paradies is very time-limited.
What I liked personally about the plot was the parallelism of obstacles in their common path together. Had it not been the actually acceleration of problems by the visit at the house of the piano teacher, one of the other strings would have evolved, the other strings growing stronger. Different strings, but all pulling the two apart over the long run.
If these two can't make it, under these best case circumstances, nobody can.
(I don't think this is a spoiler. The title already gives away the outcome: an affaire. Should anyone disagree, just add 'spoilers' as attribute.)
