Santiago was born prematurely, with little hope of survival and the risk of being forgotten by both his biological parents and a system that rarely guarantees a stable home.

Their struggle sheds light on thousands of children left in institutions and affirms a simple truth: every child deserves to grow up in a loving home.

Time moves at its own slow rhythm in the village of Sinagovci. When the mayor, an avid racing driver, donates a rusty old bus, a fragile dream of romantic journeys begins to take shape.
