VOLARE
PLOT
AnnaBì, a talented actress with the potential for international success, is tormented by an irrational and distinctly human fear of flying. This fear has already shattered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a role in a film directed by the current Korean director. Instead, she finds herself reluctantly cast in the fifth season of a popular yet uninspiring TV series. However, a sudden twist in her life story unfolds when her cherished daughter secures admission to a prestigious American university along the Pacific coast. Now, AnnaBì faces a dilemma. Will she forego accompanying her daughter, uncertain of when, or even if, they will reunite? The fear of losing her daughter, a concern more potent than her professional ambitions, prompts AnnaBì to enroll in a program offered by the national airline, specifically designed for individuals who fear flying. This program is led by a captain boasting fifteen thousand hours of flight experience, alongside a seasoned psychologist. She finds herself among a diverse group of individuals, a human mosaic of sorts: from a dentist eager to rekindle a romance in Mexico to a young woman yearning to be reunited with her beloved dogs in Australia, from a cynical and pompous critic to a rugged, wealthy farmer seeking to explore the world. And then, a surprise enters the picture. Can AnnaBì conquer her fear of flying with the support of these unlikely travel companions on this extraordinary journey?
