Migrants are preparing to walk to save their lives. Among them are two women on parallel paths. They are running away, with personal conviction as their only weapon.
*
The runners are preparing to run an unprecedented race. They hope to surpass themselves, and are ready for anything.
*
They all meet at the starting line.
Through converging storylines, this race turns into an epic journey. Which is the fate of thousands of migrants. The two realities merge into one desperate contest.
They will struggle through catastrophic information sessions and the hyperbolic media treatment of them. And they will try to reach the finish line, beyond which much more beckons. A medal? A new life? Who knows…?
