Plot

[edit]

Ivo, an agronomist from Brindisi and with no job opportunities, agrees to move to Banat, a region of Romania, where he has just been hired by local farmers. Here he will be joined by Clara, a boat restorer, met just before leaving Italy. The two will embark on a journey to rediscover themselves that will lead them to discover new horizons.

Production

[edit]

Elena Radonicich was five months pregnant in real life during filming, so the director changed part of the story and adapted the character to the actress.[4]
