A melancholic crime drama built on temporal displacement and loss, following a detective awakening to a radically altered life after 22 years in a coma.

In 1991, 24-year-old Detective Alexandre Falco has it all, a loving wife, a new-born daughter and his dream job. But one day out in the field, he is shot in the head. Falco opens his eyes again 22 years later to a changed world, where everything he once had is no longer as it was.
