Like its predecessors, The Ages of Love explores the complex and often humorous dynamics of relationships at different stages of life, told through three distinct segments that reflect love in its various forms: youthful, mature, and elder.

The film is structured in three parts, each focusing on different age groups and the unique challenges and experiences they face in love. Each segment provides a glimpse into the various facets of romantic relationships, shedding light on the emotional depth and personal growth that come with age, as well as the humorous absurdities that often arise in love.

In the first part, the film explores the passionate and intense nature of young love. The main characters are two young individuals, played by Riccardo Scamarcio and a vibrant cast, whose relationship is filled with excitement and a sense of adventure. This segment delves into the impulsive decisions, the thrill of new love, and the inevitable obstacles that come with navigating relationships when you are young. The exuberance of youth is captured beautifully, emphasizing the sense of possibility that accompanies love in this stage.
