Set in southern Sardinia, Badabò follows the adventures of a musician forced to look for a new job following the pandemic. Having found a job in home care for the elderly, the woman will have to reach the people assigned to her in the most remote places, discovering a world that lives the contingent situation with serene acceptance. In front of the camera, women and men on the threshold of a hundred years old expose personal memories and emotions, letting themselves be infected by the unpredictable musical drifts of the protagonist. As in an ethnographic film revisited by Jacques Demy, real-life cinema and musical come together, creating an unprecedented experiment that is also social.
