Five months, two weeks and six days. Carlo has been waiting that long for his Italian father. His mother has thrown Carlo's father out and does not want him back. Carlo misses his father terribly and heads to Sicily to get him back. All alone, on the international night train, by taxi and on the ferry. Without a ticket and without knowing exactly how to travel. On his journey he meets special people and thus finds his way through the Italian countryside. Until he finally stands at his father's door... A warm story, full of tension, pursuit and humor, about how an 11-year-old brave and sensitive boy makes the journey to Palermo alone.
