A morally complex family drama that uses a child's accidental rescue by migrants to interrogate class, privilege, and human connection across social divides.
The life of a Northern Italian middle-class family is turned upside down after their 12-year-old son falls overboard during a sea trip, only to be picked up by a boat of illegal immigrants.
