1989. A few weeks before the Fall
of the Berlin Wall, Pago, Rice and
Bibi, twenty-four (twenty-five)
years old, leave the calm city of
Cesena looking for adventure: a
ten-days-long holiday in Eastern
Europe, in those places where
the Soviet regime is still alive. As
they get to Budapest, they meet
Emil, a Romanian fleeing from
the dictatorship in his country.
The man is worried for his family
that still lives in Romania, so he
asks the three Italians for help.
It’s an easy task: take a suitcase
to his wife and daughter. Out of
pity and looking for a thrill, the
three friends head to Bucharest,
in the heart of Ceausescu’s
dictatorship. Without knowing
what is waiting for them, in a
journey beyond their
imagination, Pago, Rice and Bibi
will find themselves in a country
under the dictatorial regime,
involved in surreal situations
and surrounded by unlikely
characters that will seriously put
their lives at risk.
Among many plot twists, the
three protagonists will
understand the true worth of the
things that every day we take for
granted. They will find
themselves, strengthen their
friendship and join forces to
accomplish the most important
mission in their lives.
