The docufilm tells the journey, the adventures and misadventures of a performing company made up of seven young people with disabilities and one young woman without disabilities who, through art, find not only a space for creative expression but also real job opportunities. Their lives, passions and daily challenges are told with sensitivity and authenticity, revealing the beauty and strength found in differences and, above all, the importance of inclusion.

What makes the lives of the protagonists extraordinary is precisely their ability to respond to adversity. Reaching goals that would be unthinkable even for people without a disability turns a negative event into a positive one, and the initial disadvantage becomes a strength at the finish line.

To cross the finish line of wonder, family, friends and institutions need to work as a team and support the protagonists in reaching their goals.

We want to show how each of the protagonists achieves their dream through the passionate study of their art (acting, singing, dance), gently turning our gaze to their happy and fulfilled lives and listening to their great and small everyday miracles.

Daniela Alleruzzo, director of the project

The docufilm does not want to hide the difficulties or pretend that the problem does not exist, but to move the audience through the "Uniqueness" of these young lives that move and are reflected in the beauty of Rome.
