Ester, who is turning 40, leads a monotonous life, filled with constant care for David (12), her mentally handicapped son. David can´t speak and must be watched constantly – otherwise he runs away and destroys things. Ester loves David tremendously, but is worn out from the isolation, the routine, having to do everything herself. A friend who moved to Italy invites Ester over for a visit. It’s her first chance ever to take a holiday. Shortly before leaving, it turns out there’s no one to watch over her son. Ester finally decides to travel to the south with David. On a road trip across Italy, they learn that as long as they are on the road, they’re alive.
