Irene grew up in the Italian Alps in a family that loved travel and the scout culture. Now, while in Turin because the Holy Shroud is on display, Irene starts down a new path – to faith. Her journey, teeming with playful encounters and small revelations, turns the film into a genuinely spiritual road movie. Yet Irene is restless, with no answers to her questions – until reality changes into a poetic universe. After Mexico’s syncretism and clamour, Vietnam’s hustle and bustle, and the temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Irene backs away from religion and embraces the sacred.

Irene, cresciuta nelle Alpi italiane con una famiglia legata al viaggio e alla cultura scout, approfittando dell’esposizione della Sindone a Torino, parte alla ricerca di un percorso religioso. Inizia un viaggio fatto di incontri giocosi e piccole rivelazioni, un vero e proprio road movie spirituale. Eppure, la ricerca di Irene è inquieta, le sue domande non sembrano trovare risposta, fino a quando la realtà diviene un universo poetico. Il sincretismo e il vociare del Messico, il caos del Vietnam e i Templi di Angkor Wat in Cambogia. Irene si allontana dalla religione per entrare nel sacro.
