On his way to a concert, Marco, a young jazz trumpet player, pays a visit to an old friend of his and tells his story in a flashback. When he was the young kid of a alcoholic and brutal father, his life was saved by the meeting with Luca, an old jazz musician who gave him the Music.

Luca, un trombettista blues disilluso. Marco, un bambino quasi autistico che lo incontra per caso. Tra i due nasce un'amicizia insolita in cui ognuno offre qualcosa all'altro facendolo crescere e sperare in una provincia vista come luogo da cui si sogna di andare via.
