Ester, 45, has devoted her life to caring for her nonverbal, mentally disabled son David, 15. Exhausted and alone, she visits friends in Italy, but David’s behavior becomes too much. When they’re asked to stay in a garden caravan, Ester reaches her limit. One night, she drives off with David, beginning a road trip across Italy. Along the way, they meet Zuza, David’s first love, who helps Ester see she can be more than a mother — and finally live for herself, even if just for a moment.
