Caravan

Logline

Overwhelmed by motherhood, Ester steals a caravan and flees to southern Italy with her son David with an intellectual disability . They meet a young drifter whose open heart transforms their makeshift family into something freer, lighter, and full of unexpected hope.

Synopsis

Ester, 45, has devoted her life to caring for her son David, who has Down syndrome and autism. Their bond is fierce—but so is her exhaustion. While visiting friends in Italy, tensions rise—David’s behaviour unsettles the household, and they’re asked to sleep in a caravan. That night, Ester takes off. In the old camper winding through southern Italy, Ester dares to want more from life. But David begins to change too—gradually opening up to the world, and to Zuza, a vibrant drifter who becomes their companion. Together, the trio discovers a fragile joy, a new rhythm, and the possibility of freedom.
