Featuring two rising stars of Italian cinema, Carolina Sala and Rocco Fasano, this coming-of-age adventure which premiered at the famed Giffoni Film Festival to a glowing response, follows two young people who learn to enjoy and find meaning in their lives in an unknown world.
Seventeen-year-old Elsa (Sala) feels invincible and has her whole future ahead of her. She has only just begun to live her teenage years when during a race, she collapses. Suddenly, she discovers that her future is precarious as she needs a bone marrow transplant immediately. The only compatible donor has been on the run since before she was born, is someone she’s never met and whose name she doesn’t even know: a criminal perhaps, a wanted man most certainly - her father.
But thanks to her new friend Edo (Fasano), an outgoing and irreverent boy around her age, Elsa decides to go on a road trip adventure in search of her father. While Elsa and Edo seem to have almost nothing in common, the journey they embark on together will change their lives forever.
