Inspired by the true story of a South American pilot who crash-landed his plane near Mallow, Ireland, in 1983. He is taken in by Paco, a young, fatherless boy, who decides he must convince the townspeople to build a runway to help the pilot get home. Against all odds, the people of the town come together to help the foreigner, capturing the imagination of the nation in the process. (Morelia International Film Festival)
