Pino is a mechanic and an off-road racing champion, who becomes a woman named Beatrice. As a transgender, she meets Marianna, a nurse from Romania who's taking care of her old mother.  A romance begins between Beatrice and Marianna - they fall in love. With both of them dressed as brides, they manage to get married in Rome while fighting established society norms and prejudices.  Off Road is an Italian love story, traveling an un-surfaced road to become an unconventional family in a conventional country.
