Benno and Allegra: he's over fifty, English, and drinks like a fish; she's twenty years younger, a travel blogger with lots of imagination. They both live off their lies and have no intention of stopping now. Next-door neighbors who had never met until the day he wound up on the wrong landing, and nothing would ever be the same. Sheer chance leads this odd couple on a flight towards lost or forgotten places, where their mutual support makes for self-discovery.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Giorgia Farina based Benno's apartment building on her own Roman residence, where she once did find a stranger on her landing.
The film's 'lost places' — abandoned villages, faded resorts — mirror Italy's real 'paesi fantasma,' economic casualties where only tourists and ghosts remain.
