From Northern Italy to Bucharest is a long way to go for the 30 year old film director in search for her biological family. She is accompanied by her biological brother she has just met, who experiences the journey in a completely different way. For Elena, this is also a journey inside herself, full of questions about her belonging and separateness, her roots and family bonds. Adopted by an Italian couple in her early childhood, she has no idea what the missing Romanian piece of the puzzle will be like or what it may bring for herself and her loved ones.
