Escaping from the ghosts of his past, Damian (Polish, 35) flees to Rome in search of a new life.
Penniless, he arrives at Termini Station, the gritty heart of Rome. Instead of sleeping on the ground with the homeless, he climbs atop a tower on the ancient Roman walls overlooking the station, making it his new home.
Dreaming of becoming a singer and desperate for love, Damian falls for Sofia, a strong and charismatic homeless woman. Their fiery romance ignites amidst the tumultuous backdrop of Termini, thrusting Damian into an upside-down world of camaraderie and conflict among the station's marginalized community.
Here, Damian finds the family he's never had. With his fragile psyche, will he be able to forge a new life for himself amidst the chaos of Termini?
