The new film by the Oscar-winning filmmaker Gabriele Salvatores (Mediterraneo, I\u2019m Not Scared) is a road movie inspired by the true story of Andrea and Franco Antonello, a father and autistic son who travelled by motorbike for three months through the United States and South America. Sixteen-year-old Vincent has been living in his own world \u2013 the world few would consider to be easy. Certainly not his mother Elena or his stepfather Mario, to say nothing of Vincent himself. Vincent\u2019s biological father is Willi, a singer. One night he finally decides to get to know his boy, but he\u2019s in for a real surprise. Upon seeing his mother chasing away the stranger who showed up at their door, Vincent hides in the stranger\u2019s car, convinced it is his dad. Destination unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
