In Rome's EUR district, where the silence of the night echoes with the mysterious disappearance of a little girl, two strangers meet on a night bus crossing the city. Francesco is a young man on the margins of society, an ironic vagabond who lives by his wits, with a bottle in his backpack and a stubborn desire to dream. Carlotta wears an elegant fur coat and introduces herself as a famous cellist on tour, but behind her tired eyes and confident voice, one senses a different reality, one of long nights.
