PLOT: Walter is spending a night in Rome with his family for his birthday. As soon as he tries to capture the party with a selfie he is suddenly interrupted by a phone call. His mother is ringing him for his son is the one who could help with her chest pain, so Walter got convinced and they will wander around the city looking for the only cure: some cannabis. Even though he criticizes her mother’s lifestyle, they will spend the entire night together, as happened during Walter’s childhood. In a riveting and comic way, Ekaterina Volkowa takes both the protagonist and the spectator to an unexpected travel where they will rediscover the beauty in the simplicity and lightness of life. Reminding that enjoying the very moment is far more exciting than photographing it.
