Il volo sopra l'oceano

Jonathan and Michele meet on a flight to Gran Canaria.
Michele has been one of Italian TV’s most famous ventriloquists. Jonathan is a frail boy.
They have one thing in common: no one has ever noticed their lives.
A story that explores the power of bonds and the search for oneself.

Two destinies meet on a flight to Gran Canaria: Michele Prato, an elderly former ventriloquist, a one-way ticket in his pocket, and Jonathan, a twenty-year-old whose earphones run out of charge, forcing him to open up to the outside world. They happen to sit next to each other by chance, and a trip turns into a moment of revelation.

Jonathan has many questions and Michele is a good listener. Perhaps because he, too, was a lonely child who had to fly on the wings of imagination to make up for absences and nostalgia. But Michele has a secret, or rather the secret, the very reason he is on this plane: a distant memory. Because maybe, in order to really love, we don’t need to be near the other person, but just think about them. Because the point isn’t leaving, but arriving.
