One of the world's largest cruise ships, which after taking on board 28 asylum-seeking castaways, is taken hostage by desperate migrants when they learn that the captain has been ordered to take them back to Africa.


Inspired in part by the award-winning book "Bilal" by Fabrizio Gatti, this is the story of one of the world's largest cruise-ships, which, after taking 28 shipwrecked refugees on board, is taken hostage by the desperate migrants when they learn the captain has been ordered to return them to Africa.


The cruise ship Orizzonte offers its 5,000 passengers fifteen restaurants, a theater, nightclubs, stores, swimming pools, and a lavish wellness area.
On the very first night at sea, reality catches up with the vacationers on their supposedly carefree vacation when the ship rescues 28 African migrants from the Mediterranean Sea.
They are the survivors of a shipwreck in which more than 100 people died. On their way to Italy fleeing hunger, war, slavery and persecution, the Orizzonte is both a rescue and the first step into a world the migrants had dreamed of.
When the 28 survivors learn that the Orizzonte is heading back to Libya, from where they fled, the cruise ship becomes ground zero for the global refugee crisis, human trafficking, and the Western world's attempts to keep out "illegal" immigrants.
Prejudices and clichés persist in the minds of passengers, migrants and crew.
On board the Orizzonte, humanity and cruelty, tolerance and racism, hope and sorrow, life and ultimately death inevitably collide.
