Mirabella is a village in the heart of Sicily. Only 4.000 of the official 10.000 inhabitants live there on a regular basis.
Sindelfingen, near Stuttgart, is one of the most powerful economic areas in the whole of Europe, home of Mercedes, Porsche and IBM: 60.000 inhabitants, 58.000 jobs. 
Most of the 6000 people missing from Mirabella live in the Sindelfingen area, where they have been working at the Mercedes factory since the 50's. Today, three generations later, these people built up a second "Mirabella" in Germany.
A regular bus service links these two towns. On the road we discover the dreams and hopes of the people who regularly commute between these two worlds.
