PLOT

The young, likeable pianist Luca is on the verge of an immediate breakthrough in his international career when an accident robs him of all his dreams and hopes. Paralyzed from the waist down, he falls into a deep depression from which neither his great love Josephine nor his divorced parents can pull him out. Completely withdrawn into himself, Luca decides to end his life when, against his will, he makes the acquaintance of the unconventional Roderick. Through this young man, who rebels against dying, Luca realizes that there are other values in life than his own. An unusual journey through a new phase of life begins, from which an initial aversion grows into an extraordinary friendship. With courage, humor and an enormous will to live, Roderick and Luca defy their fate and fight together for recognition, love and success.
