A young Syrian girl, a war refugee, flees on the sailing boat belonging to four men in search of myths. The girl is called Evropa.
Paolo Rumiz recalls the myth of how our continent was founded and asks questions about its origins, its values, its tears and its lacerations. This great narrator has always talked about our need to be citizens of the world.
An epic journey: four modern Argonauts and a Syrian refugee bring the myth on which Europe is founded back to life. An outstanding work, with an historic scope yet contemporary in its denunciation.
