And, by his last will, André came to look for his brother to attend his funeral, which will be held on his native island. After refusing at first, circumstances push Fabio to accompany André. The journey will be long. The two brothers have difficulty communicating, the malaise of the years and the secrets not faced lead to silence. or.André did not tell the whole truth to Fabio, and Fabio is mysterious about the years he was a vagabond.

France, the Italian border, Naples and then the crossing to Procida will be the stages of their reconciliation. This journey through two countries traumatized by the war, and the same war that separated Fabio and André, will offer the two brothers the opportunity to get closer. Their stories will bring to light deep wounds that they will try to heal. Will André forgive his brother for abandoning him? And Fabio, will he be able to accept his past?
