Twenty-year-old Yuri lives a padded life with an elderly aunt in Abruzzo, a small Italian town, which is all he has ever known. One day, he meets itinerant entertainer and kids charmer Agostino who promises him the independence he never realized he was looking for. Dreaming of Patagonia's freedom, the two embark on a journey of self-affirmation that will turn into a nightmare of captivity. Simone Bozzelli’s directorial debut is a film of cages, physical and mental, that can be broken only by the power of images, capable of transporting a young boy in search of the peace of desire even across the ocean, where he can extinguish all his innermost anxieties.
