Don't Leave Me

Alexey spends his life in a single room building paper airplanes, eating only at the sound of a bell and never breaking the rules of his work. Deep down, he plans to escape to see the outside world, until the arrival of a new colleague puts his plan in danger.

Alba lives inside a 1920s silent film, in black and white. Each day repeats: she stands in the garden of her villa above Trento, watching the city and its promise of a brighter future. Her dreams are always cut short by the marriage proposal of a man she cannot accept. One day, she finds a small wooden box and opens it. In an instant, she is in Milan in 2025, where she meets a young man weighed down by disillusion. Together, they begin a journey of self-discovery, love, and the courage to claim their own future.

A couple receives a letter of eviction: they must leave their home in Trento within 60 days. They are two political refugees: he is Afghan and she is of Iranian origin. They have a 10-year-old son, Sepanta, who grew up in Italy, and has no memory of his grandparents, either paternal or maternal. They decide to dedicate these 60 days to their son, to offer him a different idea of home, and thus undertake a journey to his mother's native country. But an unexpected event upsets the plans.
