The day following the Arab Spring revolution of 2011, Amira and Tarek, two Tunisian migrants with nothing in common, reach the Italian coast. By chance, they both find themselves seeking help from a Taranta band from Salento pursuing success between festivals and weddings. The band mistakes them for a couple expecting a child, and decides to help them reach France. A trip marked by fear, love, and an uncertain future brings the travelers together in an unforgettable shared experience, one that might change their lives forever.
