Fleeing from a psychiatric hospital, Damian (35, Polish) heads to Rome in search of a new life. With little money in his pocket, he arrives at Termini Station.

SYNOPSIS

Instead of sleeping on the ground with the homeless, he climbs to the top of a tower on the ancient Roman walls overlooking the station, making it his new home. Dreaming of becoming a singer and longing for love, Damian surrenders to Sofia, a strong and charismatic homeless woman.Their love story ignites against the chaotic backdrop of Termini, catapulting Damian into the upside-down world of camaraderie and conflicts of the station's marginalized community.
