A multigenerational family saga told through stop-motion animation, tracing an Italian immigrant's journey across the Alps and the legacy of displacement and hope it created.

Early 20th century, in the Ughetto family's home village, Ughettera, Northern Italy. Life in the region had become very difficult and the Ughettos dreamed of a better life abroad. Legend has it that Luigi Ughetto crossed the Alps and started a new life in France, thus changing his beloved family's destiny forever. His grandson retraces their story.
