One evening, Beni, a young woman, meets her 65 year old neighbour Gégé. The two women become friends and Beni invites Gégé to discover her world through a surprising adventure. The birth of their cross-generational friendship will shed light on the complexity of bipolarity, a disorder from which Beni suffers. Music unites them and strengthens the core of their friendship.

Una sera Beni, una giovane donna, incontra la sua vicina di casa 65enne Gégé. Le due donne diventano amiche e Beni invita Gégé a scoprire il suo mondo attraverso una sorprendente avventura. La nascita della loro amicizia intergenerazionale farà luce sulla complessità del bipolarismo, disturbo di cui soffre Beni. La musica le unisce e rafforza il cuore della loro amicizia.
