Upon his great grandmother’s death, Luca, an aspiring rapper, grudgingly takes his depressed grandmother, a failed violinist, to the funeral in a remote village in Sicily.
Grandmother and grandson set out a scooter, which breaks down on the way, forcing them to spend the night in a village where a country festival is taking place. The magical atmosphere and chance encounters turn a silly mishap into a rejuvenating experience, and they both forget about the funeral.
