He brings his five-year-old grandson with him and, disguised as street musicians, they cross the Country heading towards the sea, where a boat will take them somewhere safe. In his journey the President meets ordinary people and ex prisoners who all hate the overthrown dictator but, when they find out that the President is the man in front of them, they will all help him to run away.
