Raised by a strange nanny in Sicily, Vango grows up with one friend, a
priest Zefiro, who lives in a monastery hidden from sight. On reaching
adulthood, Vango decides to follow in Zefiro's steps, but at the moment he
is taking his holy orders at Notre Dame in Paris, he is falsely accused of
a crime and has to go on the run. This is a breathless and highly cinematic
story that follows Vango travelling by Zeppelin across Europe from
Stromboli to Nazi Germany, from Scotland to the Soviet Union, climbing the
rooftops of Paris, crossing the paths of arms traffickers, crooked
policemen, Russian spies and even Stalin.
