2050. The emerged lands have become uninhabitable due to environmental devastation. Far away in deep space, a young astronaut travels alone, with the goal of reaching a new, habitable planet. As the only trace of her previous life she brings with her the only thing that is capable of maintaining, even in space, an indissoluble link with her terrestrial origin: the music recorded 30 years earlier in her homeland: Sicily.
