Between Bali, where Ioanis Nuguet lived and found refuge after the sudden death of his father in a diving accident, and Provence, where he grew up and where his mother lived before she, too, died of cancer, the director weaves together fragments of his family history: a mosaic of places and impressions where life and death, beauty and pain, love and loss are intimately intertwined.
