Ida, a forty-year-old professor, and Robi, an adolescent, are not acquainted. But they are both wandering through Turin at night, looking for a friend of Robi's, who is a student of Ida's, who seems to have disappeared. Two generations brush against and get to know each other in the space of a city night.
"We wanted to tell the story of a boy who runs away from home and instead we found ourselves following two people who are looking for him, the woman professor and the boy's best friend, and their fantasies about possibly running away together" (P. Rota).
