A journey across Italy´s great river, undertaken by Paolo Rumiz together with explorer Valentina Scaglia, in the company of canoeists, boatmen, writers and fishermen. A journey made out of encounters, food and adventures, while still representing the rediscovery of a wild course of water. It is a story told from the perspective of the current, which travels towards the delta and its magnificent shores. Beyond those banks, lie Italy´s four most populous regions. Meanwhile, inside the river Po, an exquisite, secret, uncontaminated space opens itself up, radiating beauty, despite the environmental catastrophes caused by mankind.
