Two young Italians, Gustav and Luca, have witnessed the exodus of many of their friends to Berlin, London or Barcelona over the last few years. Their friends are creative, talented people who dont see a future in their country because of the high-cost of living, the lack of job security and the indifference to human rights.
Gustav believes they too should leave, but Luca sees many good reasons to stay and they agree to remain in Italy for six more months. They go on a road trip across the country to try and understand Italy's celebrated past and uncertain future.
