Drama Politics

Allegra is a lively young woman with a passion for high mountain climbing. She decides to travel to Morocco to reach the top of the Atlas, but her trip ends abruptly when a man explodes a bomb in a coffee shop and her three friends die in the attack. Unable to overcome the trauma months later she returns to her city, where the encounter with Arad, a young Muslim refugee, forces her to confront her perception of reality, her fears and heal her profound interior wounds.

Appassionata di arrampicata, Allegra è vittima di un attacco terroristico che costa la vita ai suoi amici. Annientata dal senso di colpa e dal desiderio di vendetta si ritira nella sua solitudine. I suoi cari sono impotenti. Così, per tornare a godere della vita Allegra deve intraprendere una lunga lotta contro sé stessa. In questo contesto incontra Arad, un giovane rifugiato del Medio Oriente. Ma la fiducia nel diverso rimane un difficile ostacolo.
