A contemplative coming-of-age drama following a young man's restless intellectual and emotional journey across Italian cities as he searches for identity and meaning.

Leonardo, a 19-year-old student, leaves his hometown of Palermo to study economics in London. He soon grows restless and enrolls at the University of Siena to study literature before dropping out of school to study classics on his own. The following year, he travels to Turin where he meets a man who will help him on his journey of self-discovery.
