When young Lucian and his mother Alina leave Romania for Sicily in search of a better life, they find themselves in a world far from the dream they were promised. While Alina throws herself into the demanding work of the greenhouses, Lucian tries to find his place among unfamiliar faces; discovering friendship, rivalry, and unspoken secrets along the way. Beneath the burning Sicilian sun, mother and son hold on to each other — the one certainty in a place that doesn't easily open its arms. Until that certainty is put to the test.
