Plot
In 1991, Ricardo Trogi is 21 and studies cinema at UQAM in Montréal. His friend and “the woman of his life”, Marie-Ève Bernard, invites him to go in Italy to study Italian in Perugia. Determined, Ricardo accepts without hesitation.
After landing in Paris, Ricardo rides a train to Perugia, where he meets Arturo, a stowaway who earns his living by playing Like a Rolling Stone on guitar in the streets. On arrival, failing to find Marie-Ève, Ricardo accidentally loses his passport, money and letter of acceptance to the University of Perugia. Ricardo goes to the Canadian Embassy in Rome to get a new passport and emergency funds. In the meantime, he is unable to check into any hotel without a passport. While spending the night at the train station, he meets Arturo a second time.
Back in Perugia the next day, and having already missed two days of school, Ricardo is assigned an apartment with Mamadou, who is from Burkina Faso. After partying all night, Ricardo wakes up besides a Greek woman named Yorda. The next morning, Marie-Ève shows up, and explains she is sharing an apartment with Raphi, a Spanish student, with whom she leaves on a field trip to Florence. Ricardo stumbles upon Arturo once again and continues to see Yorda even though he still has feelings for Marie-Ève, only to catch her having sex with Raphi.
Ricardo confronts Marie-Ève about how he feels. He explains he only came for her and he doesn't care about anything else in Italy, that no ordinary friends would do this. Marie-Ève rejects his feelings kindly but Ricardo, tired, heart-broken and disgusted leaves without a word, leaving Marie-Ève feeling bad. The next morning, he decides to leave Perugia for good, but Yorda catches him and says a heartfelt goodbye, during which it is revealed her name was actually Georgia. On the train, Ricardo stumbles upon Arturo one last time while imagining Marie-Ève singing Like A Rolling Stone.
