A meditative journey of self-discovery and homecoming, where a man returns to his roots to reconcile with lost memory and maternal loss.

The Tunisian born hero of the film decides to break with his disorganized yet habit-ridden life in Paris, and sets off to discover his homeland, which he left at 6 years old, and to rekindle the memory of his mother, who died when he was a child.
