The Case (La Custodia)

In an unknown time and place, a young boy escapes war with nothing but a dream and a violin case. Along the way he meets the beautiful Naila and a group of other travelers. He crosses deserts and seas during a long and dangerous trip. The music in his heart will guide him along the journey to find his path on the other side of the border and destroy prejudice. (The film is available with subtitles in English, French, German, Spanish and Turkish).

Director Statement

Telling the story of a trip is one of the most common things you can do. But this trip is different: it is a dangerous journey, with no assigned seats, no arrival time and above all the uncertainty of the destination.
