Mirco, who operates the elevator of a fancy building for a living, gets a chance to spend a day in the company of the tenants he loves the most. She has lost something valuable to her, and he’ll try to help her find it, trying to also deepen the relationship between them outside of the formality of the elevator where he works. This brings them on a relentless search around New York City in this experimental, multi-language, original short film.

What will happen that night will shape the destinies of both, with events that Michele will bring with him forever.
