Videomante, Mischief Films, Peter Kerekes Films, Restart, Artcam, Volos Films
Luciana, a Neapolitan astrologer, promises her clients a method to make their wishes come true: all they need to do is take a birthday trip to a certain destination to be reborn under a new sky.
Whether it's Taipei, Beirut, or a nearby village, during these birthday journeys, the protagonists will go through unexpected transformations, eventually helping them to discover what they really desire.
