Just before the turn of the 21st century, Dramane, a Malian who lives in Paris, returns to his family's African village to visit his father.

While home, Dramane strikes up a friendship with beautiful villager Nana, with whom he contemplates the future. The film earned Sissako awards at the Fribourg International Film Festival, the Ouagadougou Panafrican Film and Television Festival and the San Francisco International Film Festival.
