A young Chinese man embarks on an odyssey in search of reconciliation. With a mother who does not accept his homosexuality? With himself perhaps? With the pain of rejection?
The odyssey is also that of this journey through France and Europe in 2017, the chance discovery, the tensions, two lives once so intimately linked that struggle to look at each other. The violence of the past returns, the violence of childhood...
A mysterious inert mannequin, a woman filmed, a son playing mother...
Anything goes along the way, even if it means reinventing the world. Landscapes, languages, sounds, gestures, what we keep hidden and what we reveal...
