Mohammed, 30 years old, from Morocco, is working as a mechanic in a chop shop in a suburb of Rome. He lives with Gino, a spry old widow that loves him like a son and his main point person is his Italian teacher, Eraldo Affinati, founder of Penny Wirton, a free school open to migrants. After many years of sacrifices, thanks to his tenacity, Mohamed has finally become a full-fledged Italian citizen. The opportunity of his engagement party with his bride-to-be allows him to rejoin his origins, going back to Oued Zem where he was born and his family still lives. In this backwards trip that he will live with his inseparable friend Eraldo, he will be able to understand still better the deep meaning of his life and his journey, between past and future
