Raffaella discovers sailing when she is very young: sea, wind, adventures to be shared with real friends; carefree moments in a student's life that seems too narrow to her. Then she becomes a woman, works in the office, supports the family business, but does not stop dreaming of the sea. She sets up her own boat vacation business and meets Giovanni, with whom she decides to make her life's dream come true. They equip their sailboat Obiwan and decide to leave everything behind to go. From Greece to Colombia, from Panama to French Polynesia, from Fiji to Australia, after two ocean crossings and several years of sailing, Raffaella remains barefoot, windswept and sunkissed, as she always dreamed of being. Through her experiences, she proves that plunges from the heights in life are necessary suspensions before reaching happiness.
