Buenos Aires. Elsa, who is twenty, is looking for a job that will let her travel to Italy. This isn't just a return to her origins (her grandfather was a Sicilian anarchist), but an attempt to find the man she is in love with, so she can live a different life with him. With the help of her friends Walter, Laura and Toni, Elsa manages to leave. When she gets to Europe, reality seems a bit different from her dreams. But Elsa is strong and determined.
