Dani has arrived in Italy from Togo via war-torn Libya and somehow ended up in a pristine Alpine community in the far north founded, rather ironically, by German immigrants. There he works for a wise old woodsman who lives with his daughter Elisa and her wayward 10-year-old son Michele. Unwilling to accept his father’s absence, the boy has begun skipping school and spending time in the woods.

Similarly, Dani’s distress over losing his wife gives him no peace. He’s not even able to cuddle or care for his infant daughter, whose eyes remind him too much of her mother. While he awaits EU traveling papers, he ponders going to Paris without her.
