Adriano Valerio and Ezio Abate wrote the script about two people from Bari, Ivo (35) and Clara (30). Ivo, an agronomist, is pushed by the lack of opportunities in Italy to accept a job in Banat, a fertile region of Western Romania. Clara has just come out of a long relationship and is about to lose her job. The film is a love story dealing with reverse immigration, showing two Italian people looking for happiness in Romania.
The film is produced by Movimento Film (Italy) in coproduction with Parada Film (Romania), Ars Digital (Bulgaria) and KT Media & Cinema (Macedonia). The project is supported by the MEDIA Programme, Mibac, the Romanian National Film Center, the Bulgarian National Film Center and the Macedonia Film Agency.
