Behind the windshield of a small car, in a cabin full of objects, Massimiliano is immersed in the reading of a book. Photographs, captured by him with an old cellphone, weave together the experience of living on the street with that of his inner life. The story of Massimiliano recalls the allegory of the prophet Jonah who, in an attempt to escape his destiny, fell into the belly of a whale. Massimiliano lives on the street, in the belly of his car. But given the chance, will he dare to come out and turn the page of his own book?
