    • Synopsis
    • 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.
